I have been asked/offered to make a thank you cake for 3 ladies that helped organize our office move. We just recently moved into a new building at work and these 3 ladies helped organize everything and hear us complain for months on end. So we want to make a nice thank you cake for them, but I am having a difficult time coming up with any ideas and was hoping that you guys could help.

Maybe:

"Many thanks to our 3 angels!"

"Thanks, Ladies! Your help was a real lifesaver!"

Thanks! Those are great ideas. Anyone else have any other ideas? I guess I am stuck on the idea of making it moving related...but something that I could actually make. LOL! At work they had suggested that I include the floor plans of the building, etc. but I am not that talented. I'm just a beginner.

How about a square cake, with enough layers to be a perfect cube - coloured medium brown. Then add some "flaps" bent over the sides (or taped shut across the top) ... are you following me? It's a giant moving box!! (If you've only got a few people in the office, make it 1/2 styrofoam dummy, 1/2 real cake.)

And write "Thanks so much for making it so easy" or something like that.

(Why can I come up with ideas for other people, but not myself!!)

Great ideas you've been given so far. I thought I'd post some links with pics to help your creative juices flow .

Here are some pics of moving boxes:

Or something like this with a moving truck and you could have the 2 building on either side of the road:

Here are some pics of moving truck and boxes but are cookies instead of cake:

Thank you all for the wonderful ideas!

The moving box idea is a good idea. I also like the idea of the heart and the "open last".

What about stacked square cakes that look like moving boxes, with a moving dolly behind them - could make it out of gumpaste/fondant.

Here is the cake that I ended up making.

Thank you for all of your ideas and suggestions. There is a lot of symbolism to the cake and I had fun making it...although everything went wrong as I was making it!

OMGosh -- that is GREAT

tho' -- did your hands drop off from making ALL those flowers???????

wow, oh WOW!

Thanks Doug!
Actually cutting the flowers was the easy part. It was putting the centres on them and then putting them on the cake that took forever!

Great job! I'm sure the ladies loved it.

It turned out so cute! Great job!
