Over the last couple of days I have been working on my Dad's 65 birthday cake. I always like the decorated cakes I make for family and friends to really relate to the person it is for. My Dad loves cars and has a particular love of VW Beetle cars so it seemed an obvious choice to have him and my mum driving off into retirement in an open top classic beetle car.
He also loves his newspaper so I have made a Telegraph newspaper out of rice paper and used an edible pen for the printing. He is an electrician so I added a real of electrical wire around the base of the cake.
Its probably taken me about 10 hours to decorate. Which I have generally done in the evenings when our little girl had gone to bed.
I'm pretty pleased with the result. I just hope he likes it too.
