It looks like she has everything covered...is that a Morris Dancer's hat? Splendid decorating, clever lass.

Is that all marzipan and chocolate? Happy birthday, Mick!

Happy birthday, Mick! That's a marvelous concoction. The tiny gardening tools, the watering can, the dainty cactuses and flowers--wow! Too amazing to eat, though I'm sure you all succumbed.
What's the flat brown thing sitting on something green? And is there a third book behind Cricket and Cactus?
I think Questa was wondering the same thing I am--the cake itself is a hat and I wonder what it represents.

Ooooo ~ happy birthday dearest Mick!
That cake is quite a feat for your fête -- brilliantly conceived and executed.
Breeze, I don't think the cake is a hat. It looks like a patio, then some picket fence surrounding a greensward which nicely represents both a cricket field and Mick's home ground. But like you, I am wondering what the crescent shaped brown part on the right is.

Bixa is right and that is supposed to be a bench to sit on. What you can’t see behind the bench is a cake bottle of gin and a radio!No marzipan I’m pleased to say!

Breeze 'saw' the hat as well, but Bixa's pictorial eye has explained it. I love the detail of the pot that has been knocked over...did your dog do that, Mick?

Not my dog! Perhaps daughter’s dog...
Actually it was a wee bit sickly. I’m not really a cake person.

I'm just wondering if the cake went stale before the decorations were finished.  |

I would have eaten the decorations if they had been made of marzipan.
