The world was celebrating the 175th birthday of the supposedly oldest living creature on this earth, Harriet, the tortoise that Darwin brought back from his travels. 
the 175 year old tortoise
Harriet lives in Australia and there are many articles about her on the internet, probably the most complete one being Harriet, The Galapagos Tortoise. Disclosing One and a Half Centuries of History. Reptilia Number 2, March / April 1998. by Scott Thomson of the Applied Ecology Research Group. University of Canberra. P.O. Box 1. Belconnen, ACT, 2616, Australia. and Steve Irwin(2) & Terri Irwin of the Queensland Reptile & Fauna Park (Australia Zoo), Glasshouse Mountains Tourist Route, Beerwah, Queensland, 4519, Australia.
I am sure that the birthday cake that Harriet should have had was this one made a few years ago by Annikki.
This cake, completely edible, including the stones (toffee), the butterflies, fishes, shells, etc., (sweets) and other edible decorations were designed by Annikki, and the cake was made in December 2000 for the 4th birthday of Kachun, eldest son of Michelle (from India) and Willy (from Malaysia), who own the best Chinese restaurant in Oulu, The Royal Garden, opposite the local railway station.
Email us your "snail mail" address if you want a FREE desktop 2006 calendar containing 12 great pictures of Annikki's "Edible Art" cake creations. They will be posted directly from the printers.
