One candle for the First Day of the Year

This was at a birthday party where the theme was 1920s to 1930s. The young girls looked gorgeous in feathers and boas and the men in hats, black shirts and white ties! The children all got into costumes too, smoked cigarettes (lolly), shot people with their guns. This cake had a small boy inside it who popped out at the right time and raked the surrounding people with his gun. We were all supposed to die a dramatic death!

This shot appealed to me for the colour and her automatic rifle (plastic)

You all really know how to party!
I would have loved to see the little one jump out of the cake.
Great shot Maggie.
