Green Vauxhall


My grandfather had an olive green, 1949 Vauxhall.  He was a professor of physics; a very honest and disciplined patriarch of the family. No one dared disobey him. At least not openly.  This one time his two daughters-in-law went to the movies on the sly, and just as they entered the movie theater the green vauxhall showed up --- gig was up! He knew!.


This car cake is not the right year, but I made it in remembrance of a very different world.  It was for my brother's 60th birthday; a yellow cake with cannoli filling, yum.
