So my neighbour & friend Brenda is a terrific baker and she's hosting a Birthday/Happy Retirement Party for her sister tomorrow! Of course, we talked cake and decided that she'd bake and ice a cake if I could make the "topper". She didn't want me to fuss, so I won't tell her how many hours I spent making it. But it was fun and very therapeutic. Also, lucky for me, yesterday was a snow day, so I had time to tinker! I'll post a pic here soon but I think it turned out ok. I wanted to incorporate some things that had meaning for her - such as she loves shopping (hence the shopping bags), likes to read (made her a gardening book & a Retirement for Dummies book), she worked for a cardiologist for 30+ yrs (so I made the stethoscope) and she's going on a cruise (bottle of sunscreen for this). The banner read "Happy Birthirement Bev". Hope she likes it! Thanks Brenda!!
Next up...2 big corporate cakes for Miss & Oakville offices! Yikes!
