A perfect cake for a crossword addict. The crossword could actually be completed, and the client was supplied with a paper version, clues and answer sheet. All the answers were themed on birthday words. Great fun!

This was a real fun cake - especially for a keen and very accomplished cook - my mother-in-law! The cake was created to celebrate her seventieth birthday. Even the wooden spoon is made of sugar paste.
