I made this cake for my dad’s 70th birthday.
He has recently suffered 3 strokes in a short period of time, so it is highly unlikely he will ever be able to go fishing again – his one true love!
I really wanted to make the fisherman and a depiction of his favourite fish, the Kabeljou.
The top tier is made to look like the old fishing village in a place called Arniston (his absolute favourite place to be)
There are many paintings of these houses and he has one of these paintings at home. I tried to make the top tier look like the paintings.
I’ve included a picture of him with the cake, with me and my daughter. This was taken at the old age home he is staying at.
