Ghostbusters cake

It’s hard to imagine ordering any of these cakes, but the world is much more fun because some people do. This week, the cake making a scene was constructed by Baltimore’s Charm City Cakes, known for their work on the show, Ace of Cakes. The cake begs questions about the couple’s connection to Ghostbusters. Did the two meet as members of the original film crew, circa 1985? Are they both related to Rick Moranis? Do they have an exorcism practice together? No, DonnaMarie and Ricky just really really like the movie. So, they did what any GB fans would do, they asked the bakery to recreate the climax of the movie, in cake. The couple provided pictures of the scene, as well as the DVD for Charm City Cakes to reference. If you want to see the light-up component of the cake and pictures of the couple, you’ll have to check out the bakery’s blog.

Royal cake

Royal cakes go big. This sheet cake from the wedding of King Abdullah of Jordan to Queen Rania decided it had conquered enough horizontal space, and did what few sheet cakes have done before, it went vertical.

Barbie’s palace cake

The ultimate punishment if he says he doesn’t want to be involved with the wedding planning.

Hamburger cake

A little off topic, but she seems supportive.

Nintendo cake

Super Mario has this effect on some people.

Starry Night cake

The most over-exposed poster becomes a completely unique cake. Smart move.

Jdate cake

Likes: Kooky cakes. Hates: Independent coffee shops.

The “Me” cake

The groom may look back at this picture when he wonders if there were signs early on. Not self-obsessed at

Nine-year-old Lily releases album

SINGER AND COMPOSER: Lily Rench, 9, of Waikanae shows her style. She has released a CD of songs she composed and sings. “Some songs take ages, and some songs don’t take ages,” she says.
Pop rocker Gwen Stefani may have been Just a Girl in the 1990s, but a nine-year-old Waikanae star is set to elbow her off the airwaves with a debut album of the same name.
After months of composing songs on her mum’s trusty Technics keyboard, Lily Rench has recorded her first album in the same Kapiti Coast studios as Kiwi soul singer Hollie Smith – and is already scoring airplay on local radio stations.

Lily, a Waikanae Primary School year 5 pupil whose hobbies include writing, dancing and playing instruments, penned all 33 minutes of music herself. From her first single Just a Girl – with lyrics “I’m not what people think/I’m not what people say/I’m just a girl” – to her favourite songs Life and Memory Lane, Lily likes writing about what matters to her.
“Some songs take ages, and some songs don’t take ages,” she said. “Life is obviously about life and stuff and Memory Lane is just, I’m not sure, really. Memories.”
A fan of Celine Dion, she also loves pop stars like Miley Cyrus and has modelled herself on Disney group The Cheetah Girls because “they have good music and they’re really nice”.

She had fun recording the album, which features pop, rock, country and hip-hop, and said she did not mind how it was received. “I’m only nine so I don’t expect it to go really far. If it goes far it’s awesome but, you know.”
Lily’s music-teacher mum, Malu Jonas, encouraged her to work towards the album, after walking past her daughter’s bedroom and being impressed by tunes that would rival musicians twice her age.
“When I heard the songs through the door I thought, `This is worth looking at more seriously’,” she said.
They enlisted local recording artist and musician Steve McDonald, Hollie Smith’s stepfather, to produce the album.
Lily, who began begging her mother to teach her the recorder at three, can also play the flute, piccolo, violin, percussion and keyboard.
“She’s a pretty bright nine-year-old – that’s my girl,” Ms Jonas said proudly.
Just a Girl is available from Paraparaumu’s Kingdom Music

Party Tip: Costume party

Have a dress code / theme but ensure the guest of honour stands out by not telling them!

Even if it is not a surprise party, it’s well worth getting together and all dressing up as something and all turn up – Ideally pick a theme from the era the guest grow up in like Smurfs

Baker Street singer Gerry Rafferty dies

Scottish singer Gerry Rafferty who had hits with Baker Street and Stuck In The Middle With You has died at the age of 63.

Rafferty, best known for his 1972 hit Stuck In The Middle With You with his band Stealer’s Wheel, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by family, daughter Martha said this morning.

The Scottish-born singer had been admitted to hospital in Bournemouth last November with liver failure London’s Daily Mirror reported.

While Stealer’s Wheel enjoyed huge success with tracks such as Stuck In The Middle With You and Star, the group disbanded in 1975, leaving Rafferty free to pursue his solo career.

It was in 1978 that Rafferty wrote Baker Street, the track that was recognised last October for having been played a staggering five million times worldwide.

Rafferty suffered from alcoholism, leading to the breakdown of his 20-year marriage to wife Carla in 1990.
