For the extra super special birthday suprise we built a double decker cheesecake (strawberry on bottom and pineapple on top) with a blackberry filling! Cheesecake is Ken's FAVORITE dessert, and he doesn't like cake much, so we decided to go all out for him! However putting the cheesecakes together ended up being a little more difficult then we imagined, and I am NOT a great dessert baker (or any kind of cook or baker for that matter :) so it ended up a little messy, but the cracks in the top crust served as great places to put 24 CANDLES! (WOW he is getting OLD!)
We pretty much just made 2 cheesecakes and flipped on top of the other after spreading the filling in between :) But it was sure YUMMY!!
That is A LOT of candles :)
Ken thought the candle design actually looked like a Christmas tree :) But it just worked out that way on accident, I PROMISE!
It pretty much looks like I'm carrying a massive fireball, haha it was awesome!!
He LOVED his suprise, but didn't have much time to appreciate it, poor guy. Of course his birthday fell on a rig move day, so he was out the door at 4am and didn't get home until 10pm, so it was a quick party, but he loved it and that is all that matters! :)

mmm that cheesecake looks so good! Perhaps we are getting to that age where it's best to invest in those candles with the numbers already written... otherwise it might be a huge fire hazard ;)
The house looks great! I love the color - you did a great job. Happy birthday Ken. (wait until you have 40 candles on your cake)
