Hello all - I work in the Financial Reporting area of an insurance company and I have been asked by the Finance Director to do a "We survived year-end" cake for March 1st. I am completely drawing a blank. I have a few ideas but just not sure how to incorporate into a cake. I have searched the internet and don't come up with anything either. Does anyone have pictures or know of a site where I might be able to spark my creativity? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

how about using the Surviver telivision show logo on a cake. I think if you search here in photo you might come up with some. You could have logo then put Surviver Financial supporting Island...? Just an idea.

When I finally graduated from college, I made up invitations for family and friends to come to a little celebration. It was of a stick figure, of sorts, with a lampshade on its head, beer in one hand and a diploma in the other with the little accent marks around it to indicate it was dancing with joy.

I don't know if that makes sense or not, but you could do something like that with scrunched up papers in one hand, and money in the other.

I love the survivor idea, I think it's great.

You could consider something about keeping things in balance, since it's finance....

Ooh that's a toughie!

The little dancing stick figures could be so cute tho... A group of them, throwing papers up in the air, etc...

Need to think about this some more...

You could use the book mold for your cake.

Hi, I am a patient accounts manager and I know what you mean... it feels like we successfully avoid the firing squad once its done.
How about a bar graph chart with the arrow going up for the background and we made it or something where it ends, or characters that are having a drink (I am actually thinking about those drunken mice I saw here lol) with woohoo we did it. The surviver theme is also a really good one, maybe change the wording to read the company name on the logo.
I didn't come up with many but I hope this helps.

Something that can balance comes to mind like scales, or a tight rope walker. Or maybe a cheque/check book? I found a nice one here. good luck!
