My 30th birthday was this weekend and my husband surprised me with a surprise party at a really nice resturant.  He invited our ENTIRE family including my sister from Colorado and my best friend from Oregon and some other friends.
After dinner the wait staff comes out carrying a huge cake. My husband ordered a cake from Mike McCarey from Mikes Amazing Cakes. You can see a larger version of the picture in My Photos. It was shaped like a photo album and represented me as a baby around 10 then 20 and now 30. It was just beautiful. Needless to say I was a blubbering baby. 
On top of all that he bought me a beautiful diamond cirlcle of love necklace. I am just amazed he was able to pull it all off without me finding out.  I'm still in shock that he was able to get my sister here from Colorado without me knowing. I just had to share with you all the picture of the cake since so many of us love his work and watch him on the food network cake challenges. Thanks for letting me brag a bit about my wonderful husband. |

I SO want to see that cake. Go to your original post, click "edit" go to the bottom where it says "add an attachment" click on it and then click where it says "Browse" and it will take you to your own picture files on your computer, click on the cake and then on open in your picture window. It will add it to your post, then click "submit" and the photo will show up in your post.
And by the way, I am excited about all the wonderful things your husband did for your birthday, he is definitely a keeper. It's just that when I saw Mike McCarey cake I REALLY got excited, now I want to see it. It must have been wonderful and over the top.
Ah, there it is and it's lovely. Here is a direct link to the photo.

Kristine, I am so happy for you and yes you are one lucky lady to have such a man for a husband! He will have a very hard time outdoing himself for your 40th though! 
So, I have to ask..........was the cake as tasty as it was beautiful? And what kind of cake was it? It is the most beautiful book cake I have ever seen and the pictures on it are priceless! |

We actually haven't cut into the cake yet. He also bought a regular Costco cake for everyone to eat as a backup.
The cake itself is a white cake with raspberry buttercream on one side and a pineapple buttercream on the other. We'll post something after we cut into it to let everyone know how it tastes. |

Wow that's a great birthday surprise - he obviously understands your love for cake!
And what a great/amazing cake you got! So detailed, it's "amazing" (mind the pun)
You must tell us how it was! |

Wow can you bottle some of that "essence" of your husband? I'd like to sprinkle it on mine.... how cool! Mike's the one that first inspired me into doing cakes - way back on a Reading Rainbow episode! I bet it tastes awesome! Wish I could have a piece! By the way no offense to anyone at Costco, I've never had their cakes.... but there's no way I'd eat that if something from Mike was available! Congrats to you! And Happy B-day by the way! |

Aw!! Happy Birthday! You ARE so lucky!
I worked on my 30th (in Jan) and came home to no dinner, a messy house and whiney clingy kids...Yeah, it was actually one of my worst birthdays ever. Although, we still have our health and no one was injured....
Congratu;ations to you! Send a bottle of your Essence of Hubby my way, too! |
