I recently celebrated my 40th Birthday, and since it was so close to Halloween I had a horror themed party. It's the first birthday party I'd had since I was 14, so it seemed like a great idea for such a landmark birthday.

It was a complete surprise to me when my fiancee brought out my birthday cake, she'd made a brilliant job of it (and in complete secrercy too).  Apart from the skeleton, the spiders, candles and the rats the whole thing is edible, the grass is icing sugar, the fence is made of matchmakers, the soil was crushed oreos and chocolate even the pumpkins and the tombstone were all molded from icing sugar.

To show her how proud I was of her I've decided to post it on my blog.
