OK, so technically my birthday is tomorrow (November 11), but because I’m leaving for Ontario to visit family and friends bright and early on Wednesday (7 a.m. flight! What was I thinking?) I got my birthday gift and cake early.

Joe – the awesomest best-friend and fiancé a girl could ask for – got me a Nintendo GameCube controller and a copy of AnimalCrossing that can be played on the Wii with said controller.

Pretty cool right? But, Joe wasn’t done being awesome, he also had this made for me:

I have always wanted an Ernie cake. Call it unfinished childhood business if you will, but I HAD to have an Ernie cake. This cake is way cooler than the cake I imagined in my head. It’s really Ernie! My favourite Sesame Street character besides Barkley!

If you want an Ernie cake of your very own – contact Robert Wood of Pacificakes. If you think my cake is cool, check out the bunny cake under Novelty Cakes on the website. I thought that bunny was a plush toy, but it’s CAKE.

Also, Ernie was made from milk-free chocolate cake and icing that you could eat without your teeth dissolving from the sugar content. Pacificakes does this on request!

We now have Ernie’s head in a box in our fridge. That sounds pretty gruesome I guess, but I can overcome the horror of eating a beloved childhood icon when it’s made of chocolate cake.

P.S.: Ignore the post date of Nov. 11, I wrote this on Nov. 10! Bizarro time-stamps be damned!
