Movie Madness a.k.a. Andrew's 30th Birthday

We had a 30th birthday party for Andrew, with a movie theme, and requested that everyone come dressed as a movie character (preferably from the last 30 years).

I have been watching the Food Network for a while now, and have been enchanted by a show called "Ace of Cakes." Of course, I don't have the know-how or the skills and equipment to make their fancy stuff but I planned for something I thought I could accomplish cake-wise, and it turned out really well!!

(The wispy hair on the left is because this cake photo was part of another photo - in all the rush I forgot to get a decent photo of it!)




Andrew and Jocelyn, dressed as Maverick (Tom Cruise) from "Top Gun", and "Miss Congeniality"


Dean, Elisa, and Chiara as the three surfer chicks from "Blue Crush"


Andrew's Mom (Cleopatra), Dad (Spiderman), and friend Donna ("Marilyn")


Melanie (soccer player from "Bend it like Beckham") and José (a hobbit from "Lord of the Rings")



The Thorp clan l-r: Adam (Paulie Bleeker from "Juno"), Marj (with baby Harley), Jim, and Andrew


Jocelyn and Tamara (dressed as Princess Leia from "Star Wars")



Gerald and Nola (with Jocelyn) as Danny and Sandy from "Grease"


Spiderman, doing whatever a spider can...
