We&#8217;ve had to plan mostly via email since we&#8217;re scattered around the nation.  We divied out jobs between us; Lisa does the invites, Linds and Sarah get the food ordered, Mom does the guest list, and Sarah and I are in charge of the cake.  I am a fan of Ace of Cakes, so I start to consider getting a really cool sculpted cake for the party.  It just HAD to be a motorcycle!  My dad has really gotten in to riding over the last 6 years or so, so it seemed like the perfect thing for him.  Sarah and I have been searching bakeries in Austin and getting price quotes.  Looks like its going to be about $200 to serve 30 people.  Yowza!  But its going to be great.  I&#8217;ll update y&#8217;all on the cake once we get it ordered and have the party.  For now, check out this video.  No wonder it costs so much&#8230;4 days to make this thing.<\/p>\n<p><object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"340\" height=\"290\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"id\" value=\"mpl\" \/><param name=\"name\" value=\"mpl\" \/><param name=\"flashvars\" value=\"file=http:\/\/ugv.abcnews.go.com\/ChannelRssHandler.ashx%3fcontentItemID%3d4235616%26mi%3d1&amp;autostart=false&amp;overstretch=false&amp;LinkOnScreenClick=0&amp;InitialVolume=40\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/ugv.abcnews.go.com\/dbox\/3\/flvplayer_abc_small.swf\" \/><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\" \/><\/object><\/p>\n<div id=\"wp_fb_like_button\" style=\"margin:5px 0;float:none;height:70px;\"><script src=\"http:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/all.js#xfbml=1\"><\/script><fb:like href=\"https:\/\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/blog\/2008\/06\/07\/operation-birthday-cake\/\" send=\"false\" layout=\"standard\" width=\"400\" show_faces=\"true\" font=\"arial\" action=\"like\" colorscheme=\"light\"><\/fb:like><\/div><!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My dad will turn 60 this month and the daughters are throwing him a birthday bash!
