As previously mentioned, the best store in Vancouver is The Regional Assembly of Text, and every August I have the pleasure of making the cake for their anniversary party.
For the 2009 fourth anniversary I went with another typewriter, complimenting the 2008 piece. Last years’ was a short, mint green Smith Corona with smartie keys. This year, the model was a handsome tall antique L.C. Smith & Bros:
This one involved a ton of detail, including rolos on mint-flavoured toothpicks (for after-cake use) for keys…
Of course, the cakewriter was typing up a well-wishing anniversary letter to the Assembly:
getting the cake there is always the worst part, but it made it….
….and had a lovely spot on the party table next to the Assembly’s iconic ‘punch bowl fountain’
and now for the best part, cutting the cake!!
everyone got to enjoy a piece of cake, each garnished with a rolo key
