Seventy Five going on Five

Well my parents have just been to visit from the beautiful Hawkes Bay and as usual Canterbury put on some fantastic weather and a fair bit of ground shaking to go with it!
They had a full on week with the four year old and one year old running them ragged.
While they were visiting it was my Dad's 75th birthday so one cannot let this occasion go by with out a cake baking session.
Dad has a love affair with teddy bears so we had to add this to the cake in some way.

And of course we had to have Dad (Grandad) on the cake too!

Here is a picture of the final Product, Dad cannot remember the last time he had a cake so thought I would revisit his younger years.............

The cake it self was a butter cake with added Banana covered with a Coconut butter cream and for added excitement it was three shades of Green ( me playing with the gel food colouring)

Dad was wrapped with his cake and was most impressed with the teddy bear I think I made his day.

Will soon have to make a rainbow cake can't wait to experiment further with the cake colour.
