Gardening-themed retirement cake

This is a Ferrero Rocher cake (chocolate hazelnut cake filled with toasted
chopped hazelnuts and chocolate hazelnut filling covered in chocolate hazelnut ganache) carved into the shape of a flower pot.  The cake was then covered in a hazelnut-flavored terracotta-tinted fondant. 

The retirement is being celebrated by the arrival of a labradoodle puppy this coming weekend so I have added a gumpaste replica of the pup to the cake as well as a pair of gumpaste gardening gloves, a trowel and a seed packet. The flower pot was then filled with "dirt" (Oreo cookie crumbs) and filled with a variety of gumpaste flowers.

I wish Sally many happy hours in the garden with her flowers and her puppy! Happy retirement! You will be dearly missed!
