Sushi Cake

Allison turned twelve this week, and her mom helped her put on a party. Karen seems to enjoy the party-giving. That, or she's compensating for something. I don't want to know.

The party consisted of two main parts: the Amazing Race part, wherein 13 girls run around the neighborhood to find the next clue and trying not to get run over by Hillcrest traffic; and the wacky dinner part, where Cameron was a fancy waiter taking orders and serving mystery food.

Then there was the cake.

Ally enthusiastically added sushi to her plate this year. It was on our third or fourth outing that she asked, "hey, is this stuff raw?" But it was too late. Hanaroo maki is not to be denied.

Behold, the sushi cake. Made by Karen. Inspired by watching too much Ace Of Cakes. She's the greatest.

Banjos and Sushi

OK. Yes. I know. The photo is blurry. BUT that's an action shot, ladies and gentlemen. Banjo action! Check it out:

This new spot we recorded for Love Communications and utahquitnet.com features a mashup we created of some good ole' banjo music and a Taiko drum track. We booked banjo player John Schallhorn into the studio to fingerpick the main melody that gets this spot rolling. After that, we asked voice over artist Hames Ware to do his best Festus imitation. Then, all that was left to complete this production was the serious announcer graphs, which were read with just the right amount of contrasting gravity by the lovely and talented Libby Strawn. The only thing we forgot to do was eat sushi after the session for dinner.
