Lisa is good at baking and decorating cakes, but making this cake she outdid herself! (double click on the image to see the amazing detail, especially check out the bread, the basket and the book.)
Lisa made a cake yesterday for Irfan and Aysha's wedding anniversary. The cake was based on the theme of Omar Khayyam's Rubai that can be translated as follows.
A Book of Verses underneath the Bough,
A Jug of Wine, a Loaf of Bread, and Thou
Beside me singing in the Wilderness
Oh, Wilderness were Paradise enow!
So the cake aptly contains a Surahi of wine, two cups, a loaf of bread, with two bolster cushions on a rug, set on a thick lawn (in an oasis). The point being that this is all they need for happiness since they already have each other.

Here is a picture of the cake from another angle.
Everything on the cake was edible. Most of the structures were made out of the gum paste. The lawn she made out of colored dry coconut flakes. The texture of the rug she achieved with colored semolina. The Persian unlevened bread, the basket and the book are just amazing. Here is her picture with the cake, and she has all the reasons to be proud! I am proud of her too.
