Shuttle Cake

[strandedonearth]

For my upcoming 40th birthday, my darling wife commissioned a shuttle cake for me. It was the baker's first attempt (aside from the prototype he made first), and I think he did a pretty good job for a non-space nut.

Here's some pics:

Safely in the "OPF"

This finally gave me a reason to try posting images here, er, on imageshack

nice job , I especially like the little earth in the corner . Not that I would eat any of it as I have a slight aversion to sugar but it does look cool !

Alright, nice job there, but one question ....where's my piece? :lol:

 

[strandedonearth]

Your piece will be at Cultus Lake tomorrow

Note the bottles, er, tanks in the OPF. I must remember: "8 hours from bottle to throttle!"

I hope my bottle of tequila will fit in the payload bay!

Ain't that the truth. Eyesight goes first. Right at 40 I started not being able to read a durned thing. Then it's the hair. Make sure you don't get any hair in your cake!

Great cake!

40 may be over the hill, but you can see a lot from up here!

(And at least you're not buried under it.)
