Retirement Cake (for a teacher)

I got to dig in my huge boxes of pans again for this cake! I knew I had seen a book pan in my boxes at some point so I dug it out! A friend that I teach with wanted me to do a retirement cake for one of our teachers. I thought the book would be a cute idea for this. She gave me the teacher's favorite quote and then I just added some other teacher touches to it!

The book is covered in buttercream and everything else is fondant.
