I have a request for an 8" round, 2-tier cake for the above stated occasion. They want it themed with banking or money instead of flowers as the recipient "isn't real feminine" 
So I am looking for suggestions for money/banking themed cake. They would like the message "Thanks Betty" ????
You could do a bank CD or note, and say it's time to "cash in". A piggy bank cake would be cute, Time to Save those Pennies!
Since they want rounds- make the larger layer look like a stack of quarters and the smaller layer like a stack of pennies. The message could be written on fondant/gumpaste in the form of a check with her name, date of her retierment, and where the amount would be written- you could write out 'twenty years and 10/360 days' (but use the acctual # of years and days she worked there , then for the 'memo' section of the check write in 'Thanks Betty'. The 'check' could be laying over or in front of the stacks of 'coins'.
just a thought, but you could make the 8" round and decorate the whole thing like it's a giant coin! (q,n,d p,hd,wh, etc..) you could use grey color or luster dust, or see if the local shop can enlarge a picture of a quarter on thier kopy cake machine, and do a edible image, placing her picture in the place of the picture on the coin!! Just a thought- fondant of mmf would work well as just a topper, or on the whole thing! let us know and post a pic!! Happy baking!! -B.
