Gherkin Birthday Cake Greeting Card

Not every birthday cake needs sponge, icing and candles. Sometimes it needs gherkins.

This wonderfully absurd illustration transforms a towering stack of pickles into a fully fledged celebration cake, complete with ribbons, candles, swags of icing and a cherry balanced proudly on top. It's the sort of idea that feels completely ridiculous until you see it, at which point it suddenly feels entirely right.

Packed with tiny details and playful humour, the artwork is a love letter to anyone who'd choose a jar of cornichons over a slice of Victoria sponge. The soft pastel colours keep it sweet, while the mountain of gherkins ensures it never becomes too precious.

A brilliant birthday card for pickle enthusiasts, lovers of unusual food illustrations and anyone whose tastes lean more towards savoury than sweet. Unexpected, eccentric and guaranteed to stand out amongst a sea of balloons and birthday candles.

Blank inside for your own message and paired with a coloured envelope. A birthday card for people who know that sometimes the best treats come in a jar.
