Ideas For Office Thank You For Moving Us Cake?
Decorating By luv2c_cultures Updated 28 Sep 2009 , 3:16pm by letsgetcaking
I have been asked/offered to make a thank you cake for 3 ladies that helped organize our office move. We just recently moved into a new building at work and these 3 ladies helped organize everything and hear us complain for months on end. So we want to make a nice thank you cake for them, but I am having a difficult time coming up with any ideas and was hoping that you guys could help. 
Maybe:
"Many thanks to our 3 angels!"
"Thanks, Ladies! Your help was a real lifesaver!"
Thanks! Those are great ideas. Anyone else have any other ideas? I guess I am stuck on the idea of making it moving related...but something that I could actually make. LOL! At work they had suggested that I include the floor plans of the building, etc. but I am not that talented. I'm just a beginner.
How about a square cake, with enough layers to be a perfect cube - coloured medium brown. Then add some "flaps" bent over the sides (or taped shut across the top) ... are you following me? It's a giant moving box!! (If you've only got a few people in the office, make it 1/2 styrofoam dummy, 1/2 real cake.)
And write "Thanks so much for making it so easy" or something like that.
(Why can I come up with ideas for other people, but not myself!!)

building on this:
box is marked: "OPEN LAST"
if open have a big gumpaste heart with "Our Undying Thanks to You"
Great ideas you've been given so far. I thought I'd post some links with pics to help your creative juices flow .
Here are some pics of moving boxes:

Or something like this with a moving truck and you could have the 2 building on either side of the road:

Here are some pics of moving truck and boxes but are cookies instead of cake:

The moving box idea is a good idea. I also like the idea of the heart and the "open last".
What about stacked square cakes that look like moving boxes, with a moving dolly behind them - could make it out of gumpaste/fondant.
Here is the cake that I ended up making.
Thank you for all of your ideas and suggestions. There is a lot of symbolism to the cake and I had fun making it...although everything went wrong as I was making it!

Thanks Doug!
Actually cutting the flowers was the easy part. It was putting the centres on them and then putting them on the cake that took forever!
