The rather unique design of the Penguin Books themed cake (we're both voracious readers) had @realanncusack and I as bespectacled penguins on top (Ann in a veil and me in a @cpfc shirt). The original cake (second picture) had twelve books in all, eleven of which were authored by guests at the reception. Needless to say, my own book found its way into the "remainder bin" (but in excellent company, I might add!)". instagram.com.
