Cake Decorating Community - Cakes We Bake

Hi all,

I hope you are doing well.  I'm kind of drawing a blank for a few days on a cake request from a client.

These are some of the requirements:

- husband likes photography, Canon DSLR camera

- favourite beer is Guinness

- likes his black Volkswagon Golf

- logo of the company he works for

She wants to incorporate all of these into a cake but does not want one item to be the focus.  For example the entire cake to be a camera or beer.  With her budget I cannot do a camera on top of the cake as the work effort is a lot.  It is to serve 30.

Any ideas of what type of design?  One I had was to place a Guinness beer glass on top of a 9" and from the base of the cake have a photo film reel (like the container) going around the base and on top and wrap a little around the beer glass.  I can then have edible images on the photo reel, like negatives, of his favorite things.

I would really appreciate if anyone had any other unique ideas that would incorporate some of the items.  

Thank you!!

hi Mizztry - that's a lot of hobbies to put all into one isn't it?  How are you at sculpting?  Could you perhaps do a VW cake and add logos to the sides of it, like a rally car.  So you could put edible images on the side and bonnet -

  

Or maybe a sheet cake with an edible image on the top and create a scene of a guy standing by his VW with a glass of guiness in his hand and someone taking a photo of him.  This is assuming you have the software to create this kind of picture..........
