This cake was for some friends of friends as a commission for their farewell party. They've been over here for 10 years or so from Australia and they're headed home now. They've made lots of lovely friends here by all accounts and so they had a bit of a get-together to wish them well and show them they'll be very much missed here in the UK. This one was a chocolate cake with chocolate flavour Renshaws sugar paste. This looks quite leathery when it's applied to the cake and so is ideal both for flavour and for the texture and look of it. I made this old fashioned suit case and had some flags printed on icing (much the same as the birthday cake I made for Alix a couple of years ago, only a smaller, simplified version.)
