Congrats! Looks like a fun day - and that cake is amazing - reminds me of one of Stace's creations! Now you and Nicole both deserve some fun R&R. You can call in sick...I won't tell anyone :)

Congratulations Nichole! I agree with Alice, that cake does look like something a "friend of the Paper Crafts family" might create! :)

The cake definitely was created by "a friend of the Paper Crafts family." Our art director, Stace Hasegawa, designed it from some photos of the uniform I provided, and her friend, Sue, created the cake. Sheer genius and a ton of fun!
