My birthday cake
I am a huge fan of the movie On Golden Pond. Long family history associated with the lake it was based on in Maine.
Anyway, since I first saw it, I've been in love with Henry Fonda's birthday cake in the film.
This is it:
My amazing husband and daughter replicated it for my birthday this year.
This is it:
I think they did an incredible job!
It was my daughter's brainchild, and Russ drilled a ton of tiny holes in that cake stand to hold the candles.
I cried. I feel so blessed.
Just had to share.

Looks like something I could have eaten a slice or 7 of.

So very cool!
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

I liked the photography in that movie. Of course they had a lot of good stuff to work with but the use of lighting to capture the imagery and moods was excellent.
And I loved the boat. We had a similar Chris Craft when I was kid that learned to water ski behind.
Ours was a bit later model, 1958 and looked similar to this

Taco, I agree on the cinematography.
Plus the lake it was written about is really so pretty. They captured it very well, though it was actually filmed in New Hampshire.
The writer, Ernest Thompson, grew up staying on the same lakes we do.
Your boat is very similar- beautiful!

I LOVE it
“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.
