It was Tim's birthday yesterday, and we all conspired to give him a
little surprise party. I made the carrot cake, Robin made the card, and Matt
made the "Evil Genius" stencil. It took a while to come up with the ideal decorating scheme for the birthday cake. There are, of course, so many entertaining aspects of Tim's personality that we could have used, but a lot of them don't translate well to cake. "Evil Genius" is a reference to the game "Call to Power," a Civilization derivative that Tim and I play when we can find the time for a 4-hour geek-out session. The game assigns personality types to your leader based on your game behavior, and the game picked "evil genius" for Tim. I gave the cake a basic cream cheese frosting, and then we dusted cocoa powder over Matt's stencil to make the letters. There are plans in the works for a matching t-shirt. |
