Cakes for Clubs and members birthday and anniversaries
A copy of the Magna Carta on a cake is on display in Salisbury Cathedral, Wiltshire, England. The cake maker spent 22 hours carefully copying the writing, painting it by hand with edible ink using a brush with a cut down point for the tiny writing. What's in it for me and you and your club?
In some countries
1 Visit Salisbury cathedral to admire the cake maker's work - and consider how you can adapt this idea.
2 Commission a cake from her with writing drawn on.
3 Commission a cake from somebody else with writing drawn on.
4 Bake a cake and ask another member to draw on writing imitating an old document or invent your own.
5 Buy a shop cake, such as a Marks and Spencer fruit cake topped with white icing ,and write on your own message or document.
6 Order a birthday cake with a photo (of book or document including writing/text) printed on. (I have four family birthdays and one wedding anniversary this year. I shall probably have an exam pass to celebrate.
7 In some clubs and countries the affluent club would pay for a cake for all members to enjoy. In other clubs and countries the birthday boy might use their initiative to bring in a cake to share with members. If you are overseas during your birthday you could ask if you could give a speech - with the promise to the president and committee that your speech ends with sharing a cake with the members.
8 Seasonal celebrations. Plus of course Easter, Xmas, club events. In Singapore some Toastmasters International speakers' clubs celebrate the club birthday, the club President's birthday or every committee member's birthday or every member's birthday - followed by a speech from the member.)
9 For one birthday my family ordered a photo showing me and my latest book. The photo is sent to the company at least three weeks in advance.
10 Order edible cake toppings from a company which prints the photo. One large picture or several small ones to go on cupcakes. If ordering the small size, watch out that the message does not cover the face of the birthday boy or girl.
