Special birthday cake, Friday 25th October

I had an order to make a 70th birthday cake for collection today. The particular things about this cake were it had to be a vanilla gluten free sponge, topped with sugarpaste and buttercream and the theme was for a gardening, fishing type of guy. I used the vanilla gf recipe that I used recently as the base for the cake. I made decorations using patchwork cutters and also moulds which I then painted. The top of the cake was outlined with vanilla rosettes, I topped each with either a green chocoball or a gold ball. I did the same around the bottom of the cake. Very pleased with the result and I had a personal message from the birthday boy to say that he was happy too!
