A Very Special Birthday Cake

My friend and college classmate, Anne, along with her two sisters Susan and Mary Lee, and her husband Brian, have a tradition that they make a cake for birthdays which is in a, a-hem, very particular shape. Anne promised me that she would bring one of these cakes for Luke and my birthday party this year and so she did. We had a great time singing happy birthday and blowing out the candle together. All in all the cake was outstanding as well. Thanks to Anne and Brian for coming to the party, and for making the cake! Susan and Mary Lee, we wish you could have been there!

Luke practices his fatherly 'disapproving glance', as I plead the 5th.

But eventually we found our collective sense of humor and blew out the candle.
