Anyone want to offer some ideas? Feeling uninspired here!
Hello all,
I have been asked to make an 80th birthday cake for someone's Mum. Initial thoughts were - 'great, I can do something pretty'.
Then I got the brief, which has left me feeling completely uninspired and I'm struggling to come up with ideas that I think will work.
The brief -
Square sponge cake - doesn't need to be big as only for about 15 people.
Topics to consider
She supports Liverpool Football Club
Born in Wales
Has had two children - boy and girl.
Plays Bingo.
I can come up with something that includes just one of these things (eg Wales emblem, or bingo card (yawn!). But to try to get a representation of all or most of these things is just not coming.
Any ideas?
(btw - I will avoid people figurines like the plague, as I am rubbish at them).

Hmmm, Katy
Well my 1st thought is to make the cake with letters 8 & 0. Make cake soft colours, put gumpaste flower in the middle of O & 8, or in between 8 & 0. You could make a gumpaste bingo sheet, lay it on the cake board. Sneak some image of Liverpool Football Club on the board somewhere. They don't have to be the main focus. That's all I can think of before my 2nd cup of coffee.....:o)

lol June - thanks. I really wanted to do something with flowers, but I don't think that's what she's after. I am going to put it to her though along with some other ideas when I can get them together. I have also Facebooked Tracy Deadman, knowing how creative she is to see if she had any ideas and she has come up with a few (of course). Work in progress haha!

That's too bad, when I saw 80' I thought about the one I just did...oh well, you know I can't help you. Those requests are the ones I say, "unfortunately, I can't take your order at this time" lol

Haha Sandra- you thought exactly the same as me. I had visions of turquoise fondant (birth stone colour) with an arrangement of Narcissus (birth flower), with some italic writing and a few scrolls! No such luck. Ah well, got to get my thinking cap on. Tracy has given me some ideas, but of course, everything Tracy does is so damn good, I feel inadequate!
