This cake was ordered by a friend for her parents and picked up this morning for a retirement party this afternoon. The recipients of this cake have owned & run a ornamental railing, etc business for many years and have decided to sell and take advantage of an early retirement to enjoy their lives together to the fullest. To help them get started their 3 daughters decided to throw them a surprise retirement party. The cake design idea was given to us by Tina, their eldest daughter. The top of the cake was to recreate the invite, an inter-office message from their company. She also wanted to incorporate a railing/fence effect on one side of the cake signifying the start of their venture together and the other side to depict a serene beach scene to signify enjoying the rest of their life in leisure.
The cake is a 1/2 slab vanilla double layered and filled with french vanilla mousse and fresh strawberries. The message note on the top was created with gum paste and message written in edible markers. All details of the fence and beach scene were made from gum paste, brown sugar was used for the sand. A gum paste book and a golf club and golf ball were added along with his & her flip flops and sea shells to complete the beach scene.
WE WISH SERGIO & EUNICE ALL THE BEST AND ALL THE ENJOYMENT THAT RETIREMENT WILL OFFER!
