I took dad's cake out into the garden for a photoshoot before the party started! We got the cake made by a lady in Kemnay (Cakes of Art). I gave her ideas and she put it together. We were delighted with the result. Dad's hard hat and ice axe on the top, along with a coil of rope and a bottle of the Famous Grouse whisky - dad's favourite tipple. Around the outside, she painted the MacDuff Clan Crest (Deus Juvat) his Cairngorm Club Badge, his Braemar Royal Highland Society Badge, his old Police Badge (Semper Vigilo) and his Army Veteran's Badge. It looked really well and he was delighted with it. Cutting it up and eating it was a whole different matter!
Happy Birthday to your Dad! And what a precious cake, with all the symbols of his years. Nearly to nice to eat. Enjoy the time with your dad and the celebrations.
What a clever cake decorator to include all this detail (and what a busy life your dad has lead). I hope the day went well and your dad enjoyed himself.
Stunningly personal birthday cake Issi. I can imagine what a very happy day your dad had on his birthday. You must have been very proud to see him with family & friends. A very happy birthday to your dad & well done for organising.
I missed it! Happy belated birthday to your dad. The cake maker is quite an artist. I'd almost be reluctant to cut it up. 🤣 Bet it tasted good too, though.
Clever lady....I will keep a note of her details 😊
Happy 90th Birthday to your dad.
