(@ MJ- Your spagetti cake look sooooooo good!)

@MJ: Now I'm REALLLLLLY jealous. I have to take a six week (or something like that) drivers ed class within 10 days of getting my permit, if I'm not 15 and a half. If I'm 15 and a half and get my permit, then I don't have to take a drivers ed class right away, but I'll still have to eventually take one. Which I absolutely, positively do NOT want to do. So... *puppy eyes* can we move to GA until I turn 16, please, daddy? :)

Your cake looks really cool! Did it taste good?
(March 25, 2011 - 3:41 pm)
I hope I can keep up with everyone's questions!
@ Vida and anyone else who asked this--it was a chocolate cake with vanilla icing. It tasted great! Especially the "meatballs"; they were very moist and were dusted with powdered sugar to look like parmesan cheese. (btw, I posted the picture by dragging it from a web page in my email where I had already posted it.) I highly doubt I could be a pro...I got off very lucky to have a cake looking that good!
@ R~D--I'm not exactly sure what the requirements are here, but I know for sure that you don't have to take a class immediately afterwards. When my sister got her permit, she waited about 9 months before taking the class. I'll probably take the class in the summer, like she did, when they offer it. I've heard it's super boring. :P But here, you have to wait a year and a day after you get your permit to get your actual license. So in a year from today, I'll be getting it! Why they had to add the one day on there, I have no idea. Oh, and the cake was just something I decided to try this year. I'm glad I did!

The cake does look awesome. Very good!
In Iowa, you can get your permit at 14, then you can get a permit and 16 after taking a four-week, two hours every day class, plus the driving class, and 20 driving hours with a parent/guardian. (I only know this in such detail because I just signed up for the class in June.)
That is really weird that there is an extra day!

What's a permit?
(March 26, 2011 - 1:24 am)
Okay, I'm positive my comment said this when I originally posted it:
In Iowa, you can get your permit at 14, then you can get a license at 16 after taking a four-week, two hours every day class, plus the driving part of the class, and driving for 20 hours with a parent/guardian.
For some reason it got really scrambled...?

@ Elizabeth M.--a pemit, or learner's permit, is a temporary license for teenagers (it depends on the state to decide the age) so they can learn to drive before they get a real driver's license. With a learner's permit, you can only drive if an adult with a driver's license is with you. I'm not sure how it works in Germany, so maybe you could tell us.

I'll get back to you on how that works! I get it now. So, you can basically drive. Is it scary or fun? Have you gone on the highway yet?

Mary Jo, your cake looks amazing!! I wish we did cake decorating. I have a friend who's really into cake decorating... And Adam 12 and chickens *cough cough*. Anyway, about how long did it take to make it? Where did you get the recipe? Do you always decorate a homemade cake for your birthday? Oh, and do you shop at Kroger? I saw a box in the picture that looked like a Kroger item. There are a lot of Krogers in Georgia, aren't there? It sounds like you're going to get your driver's liscense pretty soon! Wow. I haven't even really thought about driving yet. One of my Aunts is kind of pushy about it, though, and it's pretty obnoxious. I'm happy for you, though!
Peacing out for now,
-Hannah ☺☻

Happy belated Birthday MJ!!!!!!!!
Your cake looked delicious. I love decorating cakes. Have you ever tried making flowers out of gumdrops? That must be really exciting to be getting your permit. I am not sure if I will be allowed to get one right when I am 15.
