icon_biggrin.gif I need help! I am leaving the company that I currently for and moving back to my hometown where I will be selling Real Estate full time. The company that I am leaving is an Agriculture Co that sells Chemical, Seed and Fertilizer. Anybody have any cute ideas about what to do? I don't really want to do a sheet cake- I had thought about doing a stacked whimsical design with row crops on the bottom layer and a little tractor sitting between the layers - Not sure about the middle layer- and a little house sitting on top- with a little banner on top saying something like "Moving On to Greener Pastures" - ( I don't like this saying but I could not think of anything else.)

Please Help! Thanks you guys!

Is the cake for you or from you to the company saying goodbye? If it is from you to the company, how about a car driving away from the building saying "Seed ya!"???

take pillow cake idea for shape..
then make stack of fertilizer, grain, feed, seed, chemical bags ...(doubt they still come in gunny sacks (burlap).. could even have them leaning against a hay bale?

gonna plant and fertilize some seed and see what crops up!

here's to a new season of growth

I love both of these ideas! Keep 'em coming!

Forgot to add - that this is the corporate office that I am leaving- don't know if that will make a difference in the ideas or not.....

Doug thinks up some pretty fancy ideas, doesn't he? I like it, but here is another, slightly simpler idea...... sheet cake with a river "flowing" through it, make one half of it green, and a darker green on the other side of the river...... make a bridge connecting both sides of the cake over the river and a caption that says.... "Here's to greener pastures" and "Thank you for growing with me".... something like that.
