The story behind this design was carefully built, detail by detail.
Hare’s daughter and I worked together to create something that would feel unmistakably like him. She shared stories and reference photos of his appearance, the horse he used to ride, his cabin on the hills , and even his eagle tattoo. Slowly, all those personal details became one complete scene, telling the story of Hare through the cake.
Seeing Hare recognise himself in the design and truly love his 70th birthday cake made every hour spent thinking it through worthwhile. 🤎
Inside: layers of banana cake with dark Ghana chocolate Swiss meringue buttercream, enriched with Dutch cocoa.
