My idea was to design and decorate a “Birthday Cake Elf” because it will be the 85th birthday of the Thanksgiving Day Parade and I LOVE birthday cakes. I had all sorts of fun doing the research and learning more about the history of the parade and all that goes into the historic balloons –FASCINATING stuff! Keep your fingers crossed, everyone who entered will find out on August 30 if they are one of the LUCKY 85 finalists that will then let fans vote on their favorite Elf balloon design. Though, wouldn’t a BIRTHDAY CAKE ELF BALLOON be the best?!

Speaking of birthdays… Daddy-O turned the big Five-Oh today! (and no, we don't have any snow YET but it's one of my favorite pictures of Derek) Happy birthday to my hunky husband –we all know you’d rather be skiing than eating birthday cake!

I don't know here you hear of these contests, how cool, of course a birthcake elf has to win; happy birthday to Derek. He wants his cake and skiing too. Ha.
Haha Linda....
Our wishes to the birthday boy and let us know about that cake-elf- great idea.
My crystal ball tells me you'll be in NYC watching a parade this Thanksgiving!
What fun! You are so talented - cake decorator! I love your fearlessness as you tackle new creative adventures!
Happy Birthday to Daddy-O! Do you know the song by Joan Osborne 'Daddy-O' - it's on my iPod rotation and I always think of you guys - now - when I hear it.
Very cool. Are you watching the Top Chef Desserts show? I had never seen it until I stumbled on it last night, it was pretty good, the desserts were amazing, especially the cakes.
