As usual a sponge was wanted, so I did the triple layered buttercream and strawberry jam. Always go down well!!! I covered the cake in a layer of white sugarpaste and let set firm for the night. In the morning I covered the white suarpaste with a thin strips of sugar paste in black and white. This was to symbolise the Newcastle United part of the theme.
Next i made the chair and its covers followed by the fireplace. On the fireplace I placed a Carriage Clock to represent retirement, a card with an almost Hallmark Crown on it (almost because Hallmark Heads where gonig to be at the party and I didn't want to get in trouble with Copy right). Next for the fire place I made a small Eiffel Tower with French flag attached. Finally the sugarpaste logs, flames and burnt card were added.
I wanted to make the man for the cake look a little like the real person. My wife gave me a description of him and the clothes he wears for work. once he was done I wanted to place his feet on a pile of cards. I got my wife to paint the stack of cards his feet are on (no those were not painted by a four year old =] ). I painted the other scattered cards and also made some Newcastle brown Ale bottles.... kind of. Placed some flowers on the cake board in the Hallmark colours and thats it.... Job done =).
