We are celebrating the birthday of a dear friend and the founder of The CyberStars(tm) Allen Hainge. Many of us affectionately call him Bubba. You have heard me talk about these Stars before.

Who Are Those Stars in Outer Space?

This is a wonderful group of about 225 tech savvy agents who love to share their knowledge with others.

Today, October 6TH, is Allen's Birthday and a few us decided to surprise him.

I offered to get the cake and, as a CyberStar, it had to be just a bit techie. Found out that The Gucci Giant, in Pikesville, can reproduce any photo for the top of the cake. Perfect.

I photographed the CyberStars' Logo and took it to the Giant this morning.

The bakery people simply took this photo of the logo placed it on their scanner.

Using edible paper for the icing, they were able to make this cake within a few hours.

The cake looked a bit too plain so I asked for some more decoration.

Color was added with balloons! Real estate people love balloons especialy at Open Houses.

Sure hope our Bubba has a wonderful Happy Healthy Birthday.

Margaret, I had never heard of a picture put on a cake until a couple of years ago when my sister had an anniversary party for her store in Ridgewood, NJ. She had it done in NYC. Very cool. Hope you CyberStars have fun today!

I've been following Allen and the Cyberstars for years - he was so ahead of the time with his education on internet and website presence. I regularly check out the Cyberstar websites for hints and just to see how the real "pros" do it.

Have a Great Birthday Allen!

Hmmm ... what picture? Well there's the 49ers (oops to regional) - There's the Raiders (oops to violent and most likely disappointing) - there's my office logo (oops to personal) - there's my favorite TV star (oops ... but that's a black and white photo ...) Wow, Margaret - the question seem easy - until I had to think about it. BUT - you gave me a great idea for our Team anniversary celebration! Thanks ...
