My Dads birthday is looming and it is also the retirement age .. not that he is. It is a standing joke as he is going to frame his first "cheque from the government" teehee.. I need ideas... he is also a sailor/yachtie and his job is a seaman. I will need to feed around 60.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated. I have heeps of ideas in my mind..but thats the problem..too many ideas and I want it to be a classic cake that is not too busy.

Please help
Thanks

Make that first check from the government and draw a frame around it. I did a check cake once (regular check).

Maybe you could make a man fishing on a boat reeling in the government check ...sorry, maybe I'll have better ideas after my coffee

THanks for these inspirations. The man fishing in a cheque sounds great.

Roseanne: Good luck with your cake & don't forget to post a picture!
