This iPod takes the...
You know what? Forget the iPod video. All I want now is one of these. I just hope I don't have to wait until I'm 40 like this guy did (or does that mean it's a 40GB iPod?). We hope it was a happy birthday, Tony. Did a real iPod come with it?Incidentally, I think an Xserve cake would be a great way to celebrate Systems Administrator Appreciation Day, I just don't know where you'd get grey frosting.
And to all of our readers: I'm sorry for the awful pun in the title. I tried to resist. Honest.

You can probably get grey frosting (or icing as we call it, frost is something different) from the same place that the person whjo made that cake got theirs. They used it for the scroll wheel.
hmm.. off to make some Mac Mini sandwiches....

That's not a pun in the title, that's a cliche.
"Excuse the pun."
"What pun?"
"Shut up, he thinks he's being witty."

I have a great set of friends, and since my name is Andy Kaufmann, they made me a cake in the shape of a moon ("man on the moon" REM song and movie). It had extremely gray icing, home made. Cream cheese and some other stuff. If this is critical to find out, I can research. I just know it was very tasty, and in the shape of a moon.

Gray icing for a cake can be made with either Royal or Buttercream Icing, just add a drop or two of no-taste black food color paste to it. It will be flat though, so you may want a tiny bit of blue or red to give it some character.
I recently made a cake in the shape of a nuclear power plant and used a ton of gray icing made just this way. Cream cheese icing only belongs on muffins and carrot cake.

I bet the guy asked for an iPod for his birthday and this is what he got...
On Engadget most commentators believe that the decoration was in fact a photo icing print in a similar vein to those cakes which have a photograph on them.
