The World of Adam 

Presented with the challenge of creating Adam's 30th birthday cake, I brainstormed with Ellie, his wife, to find out more about his hobbies, favourite things and most importantly, his favourite ice cream flavour.

I had to admit; that I was a little stumped; All those things together on one cake? But how? The answer sprung to mind; mini-golf!

Adam's favourite things will not only be the garnish to the cake; they would make the obstacles for the mini-golf course.  This would tie the whole thing together! In addition to the cake, Ellie had custom-designed a clay topper to be made of Adam holding a bottle of wine and a wine glass. 

As for the flavour, I created four layers of Vanilla Bean cake, Milk Chocolate Ganache topped with roasted chopped peanuts and dark caramel- a massive nod to Snickers candy bar.

This was my proposed design for Ellie:

She approved!

In the graphics department, I drew a few details on the bottles and kept the colours consistent with the photos of his favourite wines.

A passion for computer games led me to recreate Adam's favourite gaming headset.

I recreated his favourite watch in proper Dali form to add to the kitschy theme, including Omega's three chronographs.

And finally, the puzzle is complete!
