Happy Retirement

Last year, the Diomede family celebrated the retirement of a loved husband, father, grandfather, uncle, brother, and friend. After working for the US Postal Service for many years, he finally retired with a grand celebration filled with family and friends! For this party, I made a two tiered cake that used the theme of the post office for the bottom layer, complete with mail truck and the road, and a "motown" type theme for the top of the cake. I did freehand cutouts of the truck, a house, a mailbox, a letter, and the sun for the bottom of the cake. The top layer features records, star shapes, and music notes all reminiscent of typical fifties motown style. This was a white cake filled with cream cheese frosting and strawberries.
