Daves 30th
The BIG 30!
I wrapped Dave's presents in paper with equations, "tied" with electrical tape. Pretty fun! Dave loves people, so that's what I got him for his birthday...
We had some people over to celebrate. Everyone loves Dave, so they all came and gave him a good ribbing. I told people we were mourning the passing of Dave's youth, and to come in black, bring a harassing card, or bring 30 of something. People brought some funny stuff! Dave got a hair replacement coupon from his scouts, and an old-person kit from the Boehms.
Here our former neighbors Heather and daughter Lexi Boehm talk with someone, with Robert Rocha, our Brazilian pal and the Elkins in the background.
The Rubik's cube was first sold in Hungary in 1977. The cupcakes in back say "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...STAR WARS" which débuted in 1977. Legos came out with Technics mechanical Legos in 1977. Smurfs came out in 1983 (close enough). The chocolate cake is the arcade game Asteroids. (It's precursor came out in 1977. It was the first game to remember high scores. Cool!)
The Lego was my first try with fondant. (When they say "roll it thin" don't go under 1/4"!) This fondant (chocopan) was expensive, but yummy. It's like putty, and will shrink to fit the cake. I also used disposable frosting bags for the first time. I found out why bake strips keep the cake level, (reducing the need to level the cake.) And I learned that square-cornered cakes come out of cake pans, not roundy casserole dishes (duh!)
