Don't be a square and do a circular stipper cake like everyone else -- make a square cake!

Ours has two tiers. The bottom tier being 3' square and about 2' tall and the top being 2' cubed.

To make such a cake you will need:

50' of .5" PVC pipe (you'll need about 42-45 feet of it).
8 orthogonal Tees
8 normal Tees


PVC saw (or other suitable device)

7 or so yards of fabric
3 cans of "Great Stuff" spray able expandable foam
Spray paints
Measuring Device

Zip Ties
Packing Tape
Fabric cutting device
Aluminum foil
Hot Glue would be nice
Butchers Paper (or other wide paper to cover the top)


6' of 2" PVC pipe (2' per candle)
1 confetti popper per candle
3' of string per candle

Are all of you moderators and famous people like near and/or living near each other? I mean here you know Ewilhelm, and each other gives presents to others so you must be living next to each other. ??? Was this website started by a group of friends who were geeks, and who knew and lived near each other?
