Hello LilyOnTheLam.Com Readers:
How is your weekend going? I am always amazed at how quickly weekends pass by and how slowly work days move. Yesterday, I was at a 2 year old's birthday party. I know, I know - I have the social life of a young Paris Hilton.
Years ago, when one of my friends had her eldest daughter, I was inadvertently exposed to "The Wiggles." I speak of this event like an outbreak type contagion, because it's knowledge I didn't want and I didn't feel the same afterward. The Wiggles are four Australian men driving around in a big red car singing songs for children, I guess.
It reminded me of the Orange Mocha Frappuccino "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go" male supermodels in a Jeep scene from the movie Zoolander. But these Wiggly men were laughing all the way to the bank and now I guess there are 3 new Wiggles because I suspect 3 of the original members are doing backstrokes in swimming pools filled with cash.
So now years later, I found myself in a friend's backyard as she transformed her pool area into a Wiggles-themed shangri la for her son's birthday party. Even I, with my cold, dead heart, had to be impressed with all the play stations coordinated with Wiggles member activities. The kids loved it and had a great time.
However the key to my heart is not finding Jeff the Wiggles member who apparently gets lost ... the key to my heart revolves around cake. The birthday boy's family friend and owner of CakesOfStyle.com outdid herself with this amazing "Big Red Car" Wiggles cake complete with singing Wiggles members with audio headsets.
The cake was chocolate with vanilla frosting filling and incredibly delicious! Some people may weep to see such a beautiful cake chopped into pieces, but when it comes to cake I say "let me at it!"
The birthday boy's Mom saved the most creative parts - The Wiggles themselves.

A fun party with terrific weather (we somehow managed to escape the summer Florida rains) and a gorgeous, tasty cake from CakesOfStyle.com - now that's what I call an excellent birthday whether you're 2 years old or 102 years old!
