Sonny,
So what we see here proves you weren't the chef de birthday cake shown in 
your "Favs" post the other day. I believe this is your other son's birthday? 
;-)

For what it's worth old buddy "stick to taking pictures of birthday cakes" 
and leave the baking to Kathy. Or when she suggests you get the BD cake, you 
do just that.... "go to the bakery and buy one!" :-)

Heck then all you have to do is load & light the candles, get the camera and 
take pictures.;-)

Now how does that simple scenario sound? ;-)
