Hi There,

I have a cake due for tomorrow, and I am struggling to come up with ideas. I am loaded with a cold, and can't seem to focus on this cake. It's for a man's 70th birthday, and his daughter has just asked for it to be a 12" square, quite plain with red and blue. Can anyone give me some ideas? I'm just looking for something appropriate. I would really appreciate any tips.

Thanks
Pauline

The possibilities are endless!

I just Googled images for "70th, birthday cake, square, red, blue" and this one came up from Munchies Cakes in the UK.....

Not sure if you're doing BC or fondant, and if your customer wants patriotic or not, but here are some images I found on Flickr..
