All of Laurea’s Birthday Cakes, in an average of 5.2 seconds.
It is only fitting, after a break of almost exactly two months, to start again where one left off—namely, with a collection of Laurea’s Fastest Possible Birthday Cakes, as drawn by the very talented attendees of her bicoastal thirtieth birthday parties. As it turned out, Laurea’s birthday was a pleasantly drawn-out affair this year, with little gatherings in New York and San Francisco, both of which featured booze and pens. The selection here took a grand total of 163 seconds to complete, and is organized more or less according to speed, with Masha’s one-point-seven-second masterpiece at top left and some stranger’s fifteen-second thirty-first birthday cake at bottom right (which, arguably, makes theirs the Fastest Possible Cake for Laurea’s Birthday Next Year).
Over the weekend, we’ve assembled our return to glory for 2012. In the meantime, click on the cakes up top and enjoy the fearsome Wall Of Cake that our dearest friends were kind enough to draw for us; some of them very, very badly, but all of them Fast.
