fracas

Judy… you know Judy, the Sugar Queen’s Dream Doll? Well, she’s having a birthday today and there is no way that the Queen of all that is cake in this world should have a birthday pass and not have someone arrange the most kick-ass “cake” that ever could be.

So fracas went a lookin’ and she found this cake to wish Judy a Happy Birthday in a most spectacular way. I (wink wink) took this photo as I stood outside in the cold, cold Canadian air. Judy.. let me know when it gets there, ok?
