If anyone ever has a chance this season to go to Downtown Atlanta and to the Westin Peachtree Plaza stop by the lobby and check out my dad's latest creation! It is all eatable and took 4 whole days with three people to make it. He is the Executive Chef at the Sundial which is a revolving restaraunt atop the Westin Peachtree Plaza. His specialty is pastry.
This is the product!

Sweet! No pun intended :tongue:
You think you'd have an insect problem living there?

lol, no insects. kids are already eating pieces off of it. That's why they had to put stanchions around it to keep the kids out

I was thinking what would happen to me if I just ran up there and took a big bite out of the thing.
That's an awesome piece of art right there. Later, QD.

Lolol @ your Dad cleaning up after me. For those few short moments, he was beneath me.
J/k. In a way. I used to eat there all the time in the mid to late 80s. Later, QD.
