    The small holes in the side make the macbook really look alive. The same could have been made better with proper lighting in the room for the photograph.

    That cake doesn’t look too bad. I bet it was tasty. I hate cakes that look too “processed” but this one doesn’t look like it.

    Should have got vanilla…

    That’s so cool, I love when people get creative like that.

    About 15 years ago when I was tech manager for a networking company (and had just started there) my birthday rolled around, and the wife of one of the salespeople made me a motherboard cake. It was a sheet cake with green icing, there was a Chunky for the CPU, Hershey’s miniatures for the chips, Kit Kat sections for the slots, and I think she used wafer cookies with pieces of licorice stuck to them for the memory simms. It was amazing! I didn’t even want to cut into it. Unfortunately, nobody had a camera.

      Shoemoney is also lucky to be married to a wife who acts on her creativity and humor. I am also amazed as I am sure her career as an anesthesiologist keeps her time precious.
