Yellow with chocolate frosting. Isn’t there some kind of birthday law about that? If there isn’t, there should be! 😃 **welby** - hope you can make it! ---

Better yet - I’ll bring a chocolate/chocolate cake and **Opal** can bring the yellow/white cake and we’ll have variety! If I make it big enough, will one of the guys jump out of it?!?! :eek: ---

I think FCM has the best idea. Two cakes = more choice. ---

Well, if you wanted to make a cake that would be fine. I was going to get one from Giant, because my cake pan is woefully small. If you wanted to bring a cake and FCM brings a cake, then I could bring brownies or something and make them rather than buy them. ---

A Virginian here, but I’m unavailable that day (long Valentine’s Day weekend trip scheduled: bed and breakfast, lots of sex, that sort of thing). Happy Birthday to all my fellow Old Dominion Dopers. ---

I have checked the schedule, and checked with the welbywife, and will definitely be there. I will also volunteer to bring a yellow cake with chocolate frosting if someone wants to make something else. My baking skills are legendary, and I make it all from scratch. ---

**Opal** - I just thought of something - will the restaurant have any objections to us bringing food in? Or will we have a tailgate cake party? ---

Yes, we can bring cake(s) I made the reservation for 30, and they said I can call to adjust that up or down as late as 1 hour before, so we’re pretty safe. HOWEVER: 4pm is when their shifts change, and so they said they can take the reservation for 4:30pm. **please note: the time has changed to 4:30pm** ---

Dunno if I can find a pan that tall - you’re like 7’ tall, right?? I know you towered over me. 😃 I need to rethink my offer. I’ll have my people call your people. They’ll do lunch. ---

Dammit to hell. . . I just found out my presence is required to transact some family business on the 15th. Sorry, but I must bow out. Happy birthday anyway, **Opal** and everybody else!
