Graduation cake for a runner

Graduation cake for my son last year. He ran track all four years of high school, so I made a track cake. The image of him running was made from two pictures, one of which was flipped so that when I cut them out, they matched up and looked the same from both sides. I glued the pictures back to back and stuck a toothpick in the leg part of the picture, extending the toothpick about halfway beyond the edge of the pictures so I could stick it in the cake and the image would remain upright without getting too much frosting on it. The "Y" logo was done with the buttercream transfer method.
