Best. Birthday Cake. Ever!

For the past three years, I've have (jokingly) been telling the Sweetie I just want Howard Donald for my birthday. This year, he came through. In cake form, anyway:

He's spent the last few weeks Googling pictures of Howard Donald, and working with our local bakery on the design. (The caption stands for Happy Howard Donald Birthday PRZ, in case you're wondering.) This all explains why for the last few weeks he would just randomly say "That Howard Donald is a handsome man," every once in a while.

He is truly the best Sweetie ever.

Here's me with my lovely cake.

I have no idea who HD is, but you sure look happy!

He's 1/3 of my beloved man band, Take That. And he is, as the Sweetie says, a handsome man.

Those eyes...

Wowzer! What a brilliant creation - and such a lovely thought from your Sweetie. I bet you didn't want to eat it...

I had no idea what he was up to and was kind of amazed. The Sweetie said it when they showed it to him at the bakery it vastly exceeded his expectations of what they could do.

And yes, it was kind of sad to cut it, but cake must be eaten!

What a loving, thoughtful thing to do. And awesome cake, too. *has visions of you licking the frosting*. And happy belated birthday, too.

[identity profile] przed.livejournal.com 2014-12-18 01:35 pm (UTC)(link)
The Sweetie is a pretty thoughtful guy. It was tempting to lick the whole thing, but I contented myself with eating Howard's chin last night. *g*

Thanks!

The best Sweetie ever! Wow!

Happy belated birthday to you! I can't believe it was anything other than fabulous, given that cake. *g*

[identity profile] przed.livejournal.com 2014-12-18 01:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Definitely Best. Sweetie. Evah!

Thanks. The cake would have been an awesome thing by itself, but to round it out, the Sweetie also got me the Equalizer box. Yay!

Oh, oh, oh! Splinters!!!!!!!

That is so thoughtful and very original!

Ain't it great?!

[identity profile] golden-bastet.livejournal.com 2014-12-18 12:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Yay for the Sweetie! Yay for Howard Donald! And HHHDB to youuuu~ ! :D

Actually, I owe someone something involving you, and I will do it while I'm off from work next week.

[identity profile] przed.livejournal.com 2014-12-18 01:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Yay, indeed! Thanks!

Okay, now I am totally intrigued. Will be keeping an eye out for whatever this mysterious something is!

Happy (belated) birthday!

Thanks!

That cake looks amazing! The Sweetie is amazing! Happy belated birthday!!

[identity profile] przed.livejournal.com 2014-12-18 01:39 pm (UTC)(link)
The cake and the Sweetie are both amazing, aren't they! (The Sweetie has tweeted Howard a picture of the cake. I'm half terrified and half hopeful that he'll respond.)

[identity profile] moonlightmead.livejournal.com 2014-12-18 05:24 pm (UTC)(link)
But. but... now you have to cut that cake!

Well done that sweetie! And happy birthday, you!

[identity profile] przed.livejournal.com 2014-12-18 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Having to cut the cake was a definite downside, but the pictures will live on. *g*

The Sweetie has definitely outdone himself this time. Thanks!

How fantastic is that? \o/

Pretty darn fantastic! \0/

I wished you a happy birthday on FB yesterday because I was rushed and I usually post a birthday cake pix here.

But you've done it so well now!

Happy happy birthday my friend. Many more.

PS: are you going to MWC for the last time this year? I just got a room.

[identity profile] przed.livejournal.com 2014-12-18 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
This is the ultimate birthday cake. The Sweetie did good.

Thanks!

Barring any unpredictable disasters, I will be at MWC. I haven't heard if we've got a room yet, but I doubt that'll be a problem.

Coolest birthday cake ever :D Also, coolest husband ever ;P

Happy belated birthday btw, sorry I missed it, life's been getting in the way of my online time :(

[identity profile] przed.livejournal.com 2014-12-19 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I definitely lucked out in the husband and birthday cake departments. :D

No worries on the birthday front. I totally miss practically everyone's these days. Life definitely gets in the way of online time, though mostly it's good life stuff these days.

I know I say it every year, but I maintain that Sweetie of yours is a proper catch :)

[identity profile] przed.livejournal.com 2014-12-19 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
We do occasionally manage to annoy each other, but all in all, he's a keeper. \o/

[identity profile] saintvic.livejournal.com 2014-12-19 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh that is fabulous ♥.

[identity profile] przed.livejournal.com 2014-12-19 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
The Sweetie can stop trying, because he is never going to top that cake. (Mind you, I hit 50 next year, so the pressure might be on for him to do something a little extra special. *g*)

[identity profile] saintvic.livejournal.com 2014-12-19 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Perhaps he will get Howard jumping out of the cake for next year :)

[identity profile] przed.livejournal.com 2014-12-19 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
A girl can hope. :D

[identity profile] przed.livejournal.com 2014-12-19 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, and the Sweetie would approve of your icon. He has a man crush on Mark Ruffalo. *g*

[identity profile] sunshine-2525.livejournal.com 2014-12-21 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
What a fabulous cake! And the Sweetie must be pretty fab too :-). Happy belated birthday!

It is the best cake ever! And the Sweetie is the best sweetie ever, too. *g* Thanks!

Just noticed I hadn't responded to this. Thanks!

Hope you had a lovely holiday.
