I have to make a retirement cake for a woman my husband works with... no sure what to do?? I asked my husband what she likes.. he just said.. do whatever.. she will enjoy it.. well he was no help.. I have 3 weeks to make something for 50-75 people.. does anyone have any suggestion??? thanks.

check in the gallery.. lots of cakes about this.. planting flowers cake.. something relaxing. i find planting flowers relaxing. most women do.. hth relaxing at a spa.. sitting with feet up.. ha! things like that.. again, the gallery will most inspiration to you..

What line of work is she retireing from? I made one for a librarian that had an open book called Dick and Jane Retire sitting against a closed book called The Joy of Retirement. Surrounded it with pen, pencil, card catalog card, overdue stamp and check out card, then made an edible image copy of her work badge.

I love the book idea! very cool, even for a non-booky person. Sort of shows the next "page" of life. Now I wish someone would order a cake like that for me. Hm, can you retire at age 30??
