This was definitely challenging for me :) I wanted to make a great cake design for a special teacher who was retiring after 32 years of teaching. I like to honor people who always put there best foot forward to help children become tomorrows strong leaders. I could go on about the things she has done for students forever. :) I asked the school secretary if I could make her retirement cake as a gift. They said yes. I was very excited and nervous. More advanced cakes are still challenging to me. :) Nevertheless, I wanted to succeed at this challenge :) They gave me a picture of the cake they wanted me to make. The end result is what is pictured. The guest at her retirement party love it. I did not match the expertise of the first cake artist. :( I am however, proud that I was able to make it and that it was a hit.
