For Mike Shissler

My good friend and roommate Mike Shissler was turning 24. Ashley and I wanted to make him something REAL GOOD. We went through great lengths to make this cake. Including late night car rides across the island, employing the help of Adrienne, Adrienne's next door neighbor, and our friend Dan -- which thankfully, they all came through in the best way possible! Thanks to everyone! And Ashley for baking the cake!

Now, this cake is 100% accurate! I studied the atmosphere like crazy to make this not just a cool looking cake, but a lesson is SPACE.

Also, Dan and I dressed like astronauts with metal bowls on our heads when we surprised Mike with his cake. Weirdest night of packing ever.
