A really time consuming cake, this one. I struggled for inspiration for how to create an office scene and came up with a polystyrene desk and stool. There were so many little bits that I wanted to add once I got going – the little glasses, a cup of tea (I always like my figures to be doing something rather than sitting there empty-handed) and an empty IN tray.
I’m not sure what has happened to the wording on this cake – I can promise it wasn’t wonky in real life! Some good news too – our camera has come back from being mended today! Hurrah, no more phone pics.
This is my Auntie Linda’s 60th birthday cake – she also retires at the end of September.
I’m going to have to get my thinking cap on for this Tuesday when my Mum retires – She’s already had cupcakes for the office but I’m thinking a nice fruit cake for when we can have daytime brews now!
There were some lovely entries in last week’s Cake of the Week.

I’d love some more people to join in this week. Don’t forget they don’t have to be decorated cakes – disasters, cake recipes and mini cakes are all welcome.
Fabulous. I’d love to receive a cake like this when I retire! Not for some time I hasten to add 😉
Thank You – I hope someone makes you one. Personally, I was born to be retired – got sooo many plans!
Fabulous cakes, I’m just amazed at all your creativity. Your retirement one must have been so much appreciated.
Thank you – I think she liked it *starts worrying in case she didn’t* 😉
Fantastic, I love the detail on the desk, its brilliant, all the little bits are what make it !!! a woman after my own heart 🙂
Ah but don’t the little details take FOREVER!?!
