Best 30th birthday cake ever for a die-hard Pearl Jam fan such as my husband? I hate to brag… but yes, yes it was.

Big props to Sam Robinette, graphic designer extraordinaire and sweet, sweet Mandy Litton for helping me craft this whole idea together. Oh yeah, and also, thanks to Fred Meyer who produced a perfectly delicious cake that didn’t cost even close to $90 like the proud, proud cake lady down the street was trying to charge. $90! For a cake! Insanity!
