My parenst Ruby Anniverssary Card (ish)

I have been planning this for months. A lot of effort and thought has gone into this.

I did originally commissioned someone to make me some fancy corner flowers for all 3 tears, and a cake topper modeled on my parents. But sadly she has a personal tragedy which took up a lot of her time, and she was unable to complete the order. But she did still send me what she had time to make. The flowers, and sent me the foll age the leaves and some gems on stems to make up the topper myself.

It is not what I had planned, but I think it is still good enough. And I hope my Parents like it.

I originally planned on making it as the Tilly cake, but that was far to small for my liking, So I used the template as a guide and made it much bigger. The box was a challenge but I pulled it off I think.

The Tilly cake is lovely to work with, but in my opinion far to small

This is it in the box

This is a close up of the detail on the the top of the box.
It is glued onto the box and the red organza ribbon is left in long tails to allow the box to be tied at the back.

This is the back of the box, where I have added the sentiment, My handwriting is terrible, but I always think it is better done in your own writing than printed, it means more (in my opinion)

This is the cake out of the box.

A close up of the detail at the bottom two layers.

And Finlay a close up of the top of the cake. I was very nervous of doing this part as I stuck everything on peace by peace with supper glue, so if it did not go right I wouldn't have been able to change it. But I think it came together very nicely in the end.
