I am posting this Grandpa Figurine today especially to congratulate the awesome grandpa that I made this figurine for.  On Friday he became a great grandfather when his daughter gave birth to twins, a baby boy and a baby girl.  Not only did this young grandpa celebrate a wonderful birthday celebration last year with his family and friends but he now has an even bigger family with this exciting news!

When Jan, his daughter, ordered this cake for him she wanted his love of clock making, wood work and love of everything mechanical to be portrayed on the cake as well as him sitting in his workshop.  The fondant of the cake I made to look like planks of wood  and I added the different colour sugar cogs and tools to show his passions in life.  Once again it was a pleasure to be part of such a wonderful and well-loved grandpa’s birthday celebration.

Congratulations on becoming a Great Grandfather to a beautiful baby boy and girl!
