Nibblin’ on sponge cake,
watchin’ the sun bake….
All of those tourists covered with oil.
Strummin’ my six string on my front porch swing.
Smell those shrimp
They’re beginnin’ to boil.
Wasted away again in Margaritaville…

The thing about it is that there was actually ‘nibblin’ on sponge cake’ going on here. Well, not so much sponge cake, as red velvet and chocolate fudge cake….but it’s close enough! These 3 cakes were created for a 60th birthday party with a Margaritaville theme at the Hamilton Farm Golf Club in Gladstone, NJ. A parrot on a perch, margarita with a lime, and cheeseburger…..some people claim that there’s a woman to blame, But I know it’s Pink Cake Box’s fault….

We incorporated various mementos into this 50th birthday cake including Italian wine, 2 sheepdogs, the father’s daughters, a British passport, and a giraffe. The party was held at Johnny Rockets in the Short Hills mall. The top tier of the cake was carrot cake with vanilla buttercream, the 2nd was lemon cake with lemon buttercream filling and the bottom tier was chocolate cake with hazelnut frangelico
