In Search For Gold..

My friend Kiara, a cake designer, along with her sister, Mira, a cake technician and specialist, asked me to help them look for a good design for the cake they are supposed to bake for their grandparent's golden wedding anniversary. I wish it were as easy as when one would buy gold bullion, where it is easy to find the reliable seller online. But Kiara's  and Mira's quest is finding the right design that her grandma, Mama Minmin, have not seen in her two granddaughters' work. She had always been their confidant and adviser when it comes to cake designs, colors and flavors as she herself was a very good baker-- though not for commercial or business.

Anyway, they want something that would reflect each of their grandparent's hobbies that is heavily supported by the other, in such a way that such hobby has strengthened their marriage. The two's grandpa is an avid gold coin collector and somehow, Mira says that they should incorporate gold coins in the design for the  50th wedding anniversary cake. 

Hmm, speaking of gold coins, and gold bullion, I heard that you can now go ahead and purchase gold and other precious metals with the United States Gold Bureau, and even buy gold or silver coins that you can have delivered or arrange for a safe storage at any bank or depository. And since the demand for silver is now at its peak, most investors have opted to buy than sell such investment.
