My good friend Sue threw a surprise Kanreki party for her husband Clay at the Honolulu Country Club last Saturday.
It was a very nice celebration with friends I hadn't seen in ages.
Sue ordered a beautiful, elaborate cake from Cake Works. It was decorated with two cranes, a turtle, some bamboo plants on the right and sakura flowers on the left. I'm sure it cost a pretty penny. I offered to pick it up for her.
Your reds are so awesome, they are so rich, bright and full of detail. The red on the 1st two shots are great. Did you know they gave you a dinged cake, I would complain. If it was you I would keep it to myself. Great shooting!
Erick, I usually have problems portraying the reds as they actually appear to my eyes, but not in this case. It must be the Mark II . . . more reason for you to switch over to the dark side.
Thank you, Jalna, for this info on the meaning of the birthday celebration. I never knew this! It certainly is very interesting. Everything has meaning in the Asian cultures. Needless to say I am not knowledgable of a lot of them.
I saw the smashed frosting. That is what Les is referring to in her comment! LOL!! I just thought it might have happened taking the cake out of its cake box. :)

Betty, the cake WAS fantastic . . . until I smashed it! There's a good explanation of Kanreki celebration here.
