what nerdy birthday cake will I get next year?

so, today is my birthday. and for the last two years, my friends have supplied me with very, very nerdy birthday cakes.

here’s last year’s presidential extravaganza, courtesy of sarah, teresa, monica, jamie, dani, and roz:

as you can see, it features a lovely photograph of teddy roosevelt and william howard taft.

and this year’s, courtesy of melissa and kristin:

an avocado green cake, featuring the star trek insignia and a mix-cd with a star trek photo on the cover.

I guess my challenge for this next year is to acquire yet another nerdy interest so that it may be illustrated on my 2010 birthday cake. renaissance fairs? dungeons and dragons? I am open to suggestions.

this is my kind of kid

MWAHAHA!

thoughts on cake decoration

if you’re looking to decorate some cakes, never buy wilton’s color mist food color spray. it comes in a cool aerosol can but smells like the highly flammable piss of satan.

however, here is a photo of a cake my friends and I decorated at our dear friend katie-rose’s wedding party. the blue is from–WILTON’S COLOR SPRAY, which is fine if you don’t mind your cake smelling like an old lady hair salon or a propane tank. be forwarned: this carousel-themed cake rocks pretty hardcore. I mean, how many cakes do you see with fruit snacks and matches?

ok, we didn’t eat the matches.

please notice the gorilla in a bikini.
