That was the general consensus of all birthday cake admirers who gathered last night in celebration of yours truly's 31st. The cake - unlike anything I've ever seen - was all Emily's doing, from the initial idea to the baking, molding and piecing together of all the parts. She put her background in Baskin-Robbins cake-making to the test...and when she finished - and I was allowed to open my eyes - I was staring at an exact, 100% edible replica of our digital SLR cameras!
This one-of-a-kind model, the EOS "31"D, even included a frosting version of a picture of the two of us placed in the back of the camera as if it were on an actual LCD screen. I would have more pics to show you, but between the cake barely surviving a rocky transport and a table of ravenous friends salivating at the sight of it, the window for picture-taking opportunities was brief.After more than a month of daily photo snapping I'm used to seeing Emily peeking out from behind a camera - but never a camera like this. It was a complete, wonderful and totally delicious surprise!
And the bar on birthday cake-making has definitely been raised.
