189 - Handmade

Theme 16.

Photobucket

My team leader at work is leaving next week, and moving to London. Her sister wanted to throw her and the family a farewell party, and invited friends and colleagues from work (for my boss and her husband), and kids that go to their son and daughter's school. The idea was that everyone brought a dish, preferably something from your country, given that we're a very international bunch! (the people from my company include my Mexican boss, and we had a Greek colleague, Egyptian-Finnish, 2 other English people, Spanish, Czech, Austrian...).

This is a handmade cake made by an Austrian colleague (another team leader), who also makes an amazing chocolate mousse ;-) Everyone commented on it, and my boss wanted a photo of it - I thought the rose was a lovely touch! She's very talented at cooking, this Austrian girl, and very nice too!
