Best Birthday Cake!

[bassmonk]

So I had a big birthday a couple of weeks ago. Just getting round to posting the pics of the cake my friends made for me. Unfortunately the real thing didn't arrive from Music Man in time.. but I should be seeing it in a few weeks. It probably won't taste as good as this one.

How very excellent, and the best bit is having friends that would go to all that trouble for you. A belated happy birthday.

Impressive. Belated congratulations. I like that there are real strings with which to floss teeth immediately after cake consumption. Very well considered.

Thanks everyone for the kind comments and birthday wishes! Yes - I have wonderful friends. I understand it took many hours to make. But it tasted as good as it looks!

All the best to those of you who will be turning the same corner very soon Drop hints now about bass cakes!

Good to see they made an edible neck too.

Many who try & make bass or guitar cakes use a real neck, which is a bit lame.

Wonder if the real Stingray will have a "40" on the side?

Surely that has all the makings of a username.

Hopefully not! But I see they are doing a 30th anniversary model at the moment - so maybe in 10 years' time..?

That is the funniest YouTube video I've seen this year. Literally laughed out loud.
There's definitely a marketing opportunity there.. "New addition to our spring range - The Buttery Biscuit Bass" - but which manufacturer would be most likely to make it?

But then you'll be fifty and I'll be sixty four. Will you still need me, will you still feed me?

Greg Wallace and John Torode's TV shows were sampled by Shaun Keaveny of 6music's breakfast show. The presenter uses the sound bites to punctuate his routine and sometimes it's laugh out loud funny.

Favourite quotes are "Stop! Stop touching it." and "That piece of meat had everyone confused".
