No, not the theoretical fifth book in the Uglies series, but Cinco de Mayo birthday cake! For me! Because it is my birthday!
Rather more steampunk than Cinco de Mayo, but that’s how I rofl.
I’m taking off today, of course, but I’ll be joining whoever wants to chat in the next Forum Meet-Up:
Saturday May 8th
7PM US EST
Midnight in London
9AM (May 9) Australia Eastern
Here at the WesterForum.
And now I’m off to party on the bottom of the sea. Seriously.
Ciao for now . . .

That cake is quite possibly the epitome of geeky awesomeness. Happy birthday!
May 5th, 2010 22:10
That cake is AMAZING.
I will be pretending that it is my b-day cake as well since I am also a Cinco de Mayo birthday. This year I have an Alice in Wonderland theme going as it is also National Oyster Day and that makes me think of the Walrus and the Carpenter.
May 5th, 2010 23:06
¡Feliz cumpleaños a tÃ!
May 5th, 2010 23:18
Fourth!
Happy birthday!
May 5th, 2010 23:22
I love the cake and the picture! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SCOTT!
May 5th, 2010 23:23
happy birthday!!! and I am envious major of your beautiful cake.
May 5th, 2010 23:52
Wow!! That is the most beautiful cake I’ve ever seen! *__* A steampunk after my own heart… ♥ I didn’t know today was your birthday, Scott–it’s the same day as Kodomo no Hi (Children’s Day) in Japan! (not to mention Cinco de Mayo and St. George’s Day (Eastern Eur)) If you read/watch Hikaru no Go, May 5th will have another great significance in your heart too~~ ^^
In any case, have a very happy birthday and many joyous returns!
May 6th, 2010 00:16
Yeah steampunk! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SCOTT!
May 6th, 2010 00:45

i graduate in 30 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
May 6th, 2010 01:33
That cake seriously rocks! Happy birthday, Scott! Y feliz cinco de mayo!
I hope you’ve had a wonderful time underwater today!
May 6th, 2010 01:58
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SCOTT!
And shmamit I can’t go to the next meet up!!
/If Baby Cakes is the same one as in New York City, then our birthday cakes will share a creator. Baby Cakes is the BEST.
May 6th, 2010 02:46
happy birthday, can I have a piece of your cake!?
May 6th, 2010 02:50

happy birthday scott!
May 6th, 2010 06:53
Happy Birthday Scott-la! That cake looks soo good right now! Care to share? ;D Anyways, awesome cake, and have a good birthday(:
May 6th, 2010 07:03
Happy birthday, Scott!!!
Have a great one! Also, I hope your underwater stroll has nothing to do with arguably fictional underwater cities called Rapture. Because that one didn’t go so well, let’s just put it that way!
Hoohoo. (I’m going to see if anyone got my reference…)
May 6th, 2010 07:04
That is just about the greatest pic ever….
Happy b-day! Mine’s in four days- day before the chat! Whoop!
And I absolutely love steampunk cakes…wish I could learn how to make them.
May 6th, 2010 07:05
PS But the theoretical 5th Uglies would be so good….Cake……
May 6th, 2010 07:12
Wait! Why did I not realize this earlier, and why did I not ask?!
That cake… is it EDIBLE? Woah, my goodness… if it is… if it is…!!! *brain meltdown*
…………….just imagine what the Ultimate Bubbly-Making Pretty Cake would look like?!
May 6th, 2010 08:12
nice suit.
mens wearhouse?
was it on sale?
did it come with a nice neck tie?
May 6th, 2010 09:34

That is one amazing birthday cake. It’s beautifully done. I wish I had a cake like that.
I do believe I said happy birthday on facebook yesterday but I shall wish you a belated birthday here too. Happy belated birthday!
May 6th, 2010 23:54
Happy Belated Birthday Scott!
It’s such a wonderful thing you were born. The world would be missing so much awesome.
May 7th, 2010 01:25
That cake is so amazing! tayuygirl is right, it IS wonderful you were born! Geeks everywhere (and non-geeks, but especially geeks) would miss out on so much if you weren’t born.
Happy Belated birthday Scott!
May 7th, 2010 03:11

May 7th, 2010 20:43
I’ve seen that cake before, I swear! I think it was on deviantart.com.
Or did you get something similiar to it?
May 7th, 2010 20:43
OH! And happy birthday!
May 8th, 2010 00:25
Midnight? I will gladly suffer
By the way, happy birthday too, Scott! *can i have some of that cake?*
I wish a very happy birthday to the greatest author on Earth.
May 8th, 2010 01:49
Happy birthday again (although this one is a bit belated), Scott-sama! We sure do love you around here.
Nice photo editing, by the way. I wanna go party under the sea o:
May 8th, 2010 09:24
happy belated birthday, scott!
i wonder what flavor the cake is. looks derlicious
May 9th, 2010 02:21
Happy Birthday Scott! Love the steampunk cake! Oh, and to Meggie-wa, do you mean that underwater city from Bioshock? If so, I agree-don’t go there Scott. Man, I ish such a geek. XD
May 9th, 2010 04:35
Happy Late Birthday!
That cake is crazy-amazing!
May 9th, 2010 05:46
OMG. HOW DID I MISS THIS?!?! (noooo…)
HAPPY BELATED SCOTTT!!!!!!!!!!
hope you had the greatest, most bestest b-day everrr.
love.the.cake.
oh and the photo? FTW.
*high-five!*
May 9th, 2010 09:32
I remember a time when the fourth book was theoretical…
May 9th, 2010 10:45
Ping to Meggy: YESSS!!! That’s exactly what I mean! Yay!
Ping to Scott-la: How was this cake? What kind of cake was it, aside from deliciously Clankeriffic?
~~~~
Also, I just realized how totally wrong my Pretty name is. So sad-making. I’d need “L”s in it for “-wa” to work. But oh my god, “Meggie-wa” is just so much cuter than “Meggie-la”!
May 10th, 2010 03:04
i wanted there to be cake and there it was. lol
May 10th, 2010 03:38
u guyz should join this scottwesterfeld role play site http://westerfeldrpg.proboards.com/index.cgi

Yay! Hope you enjoy it!
May 10th, 2010 04:34
Happy belated birthday!
Also, that cake is seriously one of the freakin’ coolest things I’ve ever seen.
May 10th, 2010 04:34
Oh noes! A lopsided bow! I’m not very good at wrapping gifts.
Forgot the party confetti.

happy bday!
May 11th, 2010 17:39
not to be all annoying and nitpicky, but i believe the phrase is “that’s how i roll”… and not “that’s how i rofl”:)
May 11th, 2010 20:59
Ping to alice-wa*: Yeah, but even if you say “that’s how I rofl”, it’s still technically correct.
After all, you’re still “rolling” when you “rofl”. Well, “rolling on the floor laughing”, that is. Same thing really, just with less proper English!
May 11th, 2010 23:23
i want that cake!
happy be-lated birthday Scott-la!
May 12th, 2010 09:49
haha way to disect that phrase Meggie-wa!
-Lizzy-wa OUT!
May 13th, 2010 23:46
Happy late Birthday, Scott-la! I saw this a while ago, but I didn’t reply. I’ve been keeping up guys, just not commenting. I am back! For now. BTW, BURNED WAS AWSOME!!!!!! I can’t wait for the next book… Ah, I forget what it’s called!
May 14th, 2010 00:11
Check out my store! Click on my name. I need money to go to the TSS-US conference, which is very important that I go there. TSS-US is the Turner Syndrome Society of the United States. Please help by buying some of the items that I have up for sale! There are lots more to come! Thanks.
May 14th, 2010 07:43
Happy (belated) birthday!
That cake is totally happy-making. :]
I just finished “Leviathan” and it was totally amazing. I wish “Behemoth” would come out faster. D:
May 14th, 2010 08:45
I missed it by a few, but happy birthday! You share it with Hank Green! Don’t worry, I planted enough trees for both of you.
May 17th, 2010 16:26
