Today is the day! Thank you to the ladies who sent me photos of their family birthday cakes. How fun! Oh my! But, first a disclaimer. I suggest you visit his website or read my series on how we got out of debt. That will illuminate you immensely — on money, life, and my cake. I drew several cake designs on my shower wall over the course of a week before I settled on one that I thought I could pull off. It always looks so much better in my mind than it does in real life. But first, some history…. Then FishPapa and I put our heads. It used to be our only method of operation in our efforts to get out of debt.
