Happy Birthday You Must Have

Well, it's almost Fat Tuesday and the beginning of Mardi Gras. People here have already started celebrating which means Kings Cake. This week it was enough for 100 and next week (the actual week mardi gras starts) there will be more. I love making Kings Cake. Just the look of them makes me smile and they taste so wonderful. This was had a Cinnamon filling. 
This week my friend Susan asked if I would make a birthday cake for her husband and son. I was very excited about it and when I was done andy wanted to keep it for himself. 
Yes, it's the millenium falcon. I was so excited to make this. I love star wars and who doesn't remember the millenium falcon. It's all cake. The whole time I was making it andy kept saying, "that's the coolest cake I have ever seen." Some other comments where "may the force be with you" and "happy birthday you must have." My favorite part of making cakes is seeing the reaction that people have when they see their cake. When I dropped this off, Susan's kids were awesome. They kept touching it and saying things like; look at this, that's so cool, it's really cake. She ended up having to lock the cake in her bedroom until it was time for the party. They just couldn't keep their hands off it. It was wonderful. This is why I do this. At church today Susan's daughter came up and gave me this picture. Susan said she did it all by herself as in she came up with the idea all by herself. It is a thank you for the cake. This might be the best thank you I have ever gotten. This is definitely a keeper.
