Thanks for all the comments. Here are some custom replies for you...<br /><br />Meghan- Well, then it doesn't count does it?<br /><br />Glen- whoa, must have missed your comment from way back. We have like three cakes in common! And the Hulk is phenomenal!<br /><br />Thanks Marilyn, fortunately there still are!<br /><br />pilgrim- yeah, the striped turtleneck shirts for all!<br /><br /><br />cake believe- I love that your name is cake believe. Yeah, I wonder how old I was when I realized that not everybody had such cool cakes.<br /><br />kelly- I will share your awe with her!<br /><br />gymmie- thanks!<br /><br />allbluezoo- yes the combination of cake making and pictures is crucial for the lasting memory. She pulled off both. whoa, we're only 365 days off.<br /><br />dorci- I'm so glad that you were moved by this collection. I'm sure you will be equally appreciated. I'm also very curious about this "landing where Darth Vader loses his arm and falls down the hole"<br /><br />christa- I'm sure they will if you give them enough cake!<br /><br />pirate queen- yes it was VERY important to get that exact moment. Tradition was at stake.<br /><br />Sunshine- yes, Star Trek, Pirates and Me all go together very well.<br /><br />heartafire- thanks for visiting. No other single link has ever been so vocal. You guys are awesome.<br /><br />wicked witch- yes the slime was a stoke of genius. A cabbage patch party at the roller rink is the very picture of 80s.<br /><br />wendy- oh, I certainly did. On my Atari and at the arcades. I still have my Atari and my Asteroids<br /><br />mamalemma- ah, yes, I relate to the taking over of life thing. sometimes we lived in a sea of cake pans and batter bowls and icing flowers.<br /><br />wendy- yes Wilton played a huge part in this. At some point I need to share the photos of her original cakes. She actually won a Wilton contest once. I still love those decorating magazines.Kirk D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05700097965524197825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24558766.post-41283658231839519962009-05-31T21:52:08.840-05:002009-05-31T21:52:08.840-05:00This is absolutely fantastic!

We had some of the same cakes, but then they got decidedly girlier. My mom was also not professional, but did cakes for hire. It started to take over her life at one point, so she's cut back. My sister and I both learned, but we stick to our own kids' birthdays. I loved the trip down memory lane, and hope my kids enjoy it when their time comes too (Since I have both a girl and a boy, I've had to learn how to do all those boy cakes!)

Awesome combination of nostalgia and goofy silliness. Your mom did a great job and kudos to your wife for her talent and keeping up the tradition. I hope my boys find such a wife.
