Animals on the Dark Side of the Wall.

Back in the Summer I was approached by a colleague to make a cake for her boyfriend's dad's 50th birthday. Originally, as he is a Leeds United fan, the cake was going to be a football pitch with the Leeds United logo on the pitch. I had my design ready to go and was just waiting for the date to roll around.

Two weeks ago at work, said colleague came up to me and the conversation ran as follows.
L: Clare, do you know Pink Floyd?
Me: Yeah.
L: Do you like Pink Floyd?
Me: Yeah!
L: Do you think you could make the cake Pink Floyd instead?
Me: *nodding emphatically* YEAH!

By the time I got home that night the idea was already fully formed in my head, I got it down on paper and couldn't wait to get started. I also downloaded the "Floydian" font to my computer so that I could get the lettering just right when the time came.

My colleague picked up the cake today and she rang her boyfriend to describe it, she told me that she said it had a wall and he said "Yeah," and then the triangle in the middle and he sounded more excited, then when she told him about the pigs he said it was awesome and asked her to send a picture. When he got it he was very impressed, he and his Father went to Roger Waters' show this year and are both huge Pink Floyd fans so I think that's another very satisfied customer!
