This was my husband’s birthday cake I made for him this year. I wanted to make him something really cool and that I knew he’d love. So after much thought I decided I would make him a cake resembling Discworld* as it’s his favorite books & author and one of his favorite characters from the books is Death so I had to include a Death figure. I didn’t have a whole lot of time to make it so it was a little rushed & not as detailed as I’d liked and had to work around the times when my husband would be asleep and then at work so he wouldn’t see what I was making. The only difficulty I had was getting the elephants to stay on the back of the turtle which looking back if I ever make another I’ll make them a bit smaller and the back a little flatter but I eventually did get them to stay put. My husband totally loved his cake & was so surprised when I handed it to him.

*Discworld is a book series written by Terry Pratchett, set on the fictional Discworld, a flat disc balanced on the backs of four elephants which, in turn, stand on the back of a giant turtle, Great A’Tuin
