Grandpa Smith celebrated his birthday in early January this year and his daughter-in-law, Angela, asked me to make a grandfather figurine cake for his special day. I had a photograph of this much loved grandpa and was told that one of his passions is golf so his cake was covered in a soft green sugar paste and I added a sugar paste golf green with its flag and a golf bag, golf club and balls to complete the theme for this cake. Grandpa Smith has a delightfully strong face and his big grey streaked eyebrows frame his friendly eyes and this is what I wanted to capture in this sugar paste figurine. His grey hair and glasses completed the look before I popped him onto his cake.

All the best Grandpa Smith for a wonderful year!
