My husband works for a law firm and they have asked me to do a cake for their February birthdays. I did the turkey cake in November when they asked for a Thanksgiving theme. This time they didn't specify theme or anything and I'm at a total loss.
Should I do a red/pink/white theme because it's for Feb. birthdays or go completely away from it? Should I do a tiered cake or just a sheet cake for an office?
Any suggestions? Thanks for any advice/suggestions you can offer!
I think a book cake. You know, an open book, and on the pages you could write something about birthdays and names and do it in 'legaleese'. You could write a bit about the person (position, yrs with company). You could have it all printed on edible images, or on rice paper, or you could free-hand it. I wouldn't do anything with red, personally, but it's up to you. Although, now that I think of it, St. Valentine's day started out as not being able to marry unless you were a part of the church... perhaps you could do a legal document to that effect. I just don't know now!!! Sorry!
Make a plain white tiered cake. Then use yellow fondant squares that look like post-it notes and write each name with black icing on the post-it notes. Attach each post-it "willy nilly" all over the cake. That is a true office cake
.
I love the post-it notes idea. BUT, I'd stay away from a tiered cake unless you know that someone there knows how to ahndle one.
I think that an office cake needs to be a quick cut, while some may have time to hang around others may need to dash.
Maybe a sheet cake designed as a legal pad with similar birthday notes on it?
Good luck & have fun ![]()
