You've got to check this out:
A birthday cake and the level. Be sure to follow both links, one goes to the level and one to some pictures of the actual cake.

Our little MarbleBlaster is celebrating his 3rd birthday.

Yes!

It is just awesome how you made a level, then made another level exactly the same, as the birthday cake!


It's awesome Lance!

Lance, how would you feel about us posting your images of the birthday cake as a screenshot of the day on the site here? It is exciting to us to see that Marble Blast has had such an impact as to inspire a birthday cake. I'd love to share it with the community at large if you don't mind, but I understand if you'd prefer to have it remain more private.

You're welcome to use it as a screenshot.

We'd really intended to take a few better photos but we had a time crunch with lots of friends and family coming by.

It may be the first birthday cake designed in Quark..hehe.

We'd like to thank the extended family for the extensive testing and feedback on level design.

Just in case you wanted to know, icing on a Reese's cup is just a little too much even for my sugar tooth.

My wife is the one that did the did all the baking and icing. Max is still talking about the cake. Marble Blast is right up there with Harry Potter and Blue's Clues (neither of which come with cake editors).

Max says thank you for the well wishes.

Of course, we hope to make our next cake with Constructor. (not even this thread is safe from asking about Constructor...hah!)

I missed this thread as I haven't visited the forum for awhile. I'm real impressed with the original expression here! This is what MarbleBlasting is all about! Great job on the cake and level.

Happy belated birthday Max!
