Thank you @Evelindecora

I bought lots of cokes for him and it seems like I am the only one to consume.

Again, I am so, so sorry for your loss, but what a sweet commemoration of your dad. Thank you as well for the helpful tips you provided, as you always so generously do.

Hard....  but we try to smile and laugh a lot, he might like that, too.

What a lovely tribute.  Thank you for sharing all of the details.  I'm so sorry for your loss.  I too lost my father during the pandemic.  It certainly adds another dimension of emotion.  I hope you find peace in your memories (and cookies!)  Much love.

Oh Lisa,  @LisaF  This pandemic ....  and it seems to never end....

My father has passed on April 13th 2022 because of pneumonias, Covid, aspiration pneumonia and bacterial pneumonia.  His birthday was July the 4th.  I made some cookies for him.

He loved cokes, actually he took only cokes instead of water.  He loved strawberries and chocolate.  He loves GODIVA chocolate especially.  I made strawberries, sliced oranges and chocolate with royal icing (transfer)

He was a businessman and talked almost only about business.  Another business bag with his initial and necktie.  

TIP:  "90" and "Happy Birthday" was painted with gold but until the last minute I thought I was going to put silver on.  If I put gold on, I should have piped with light brown colored icing for the letters.

TIP:  The color of coke, I painted with gel color directly from the tube, no dilution with alcohol.  I really don't know the paint is going to dry eventually but it was sticky a few hours after from my food dryer.  To pack the cookie, I placed plastic wrap on the dark part, so that won't mess other parts and my fingers.
