Thanks for the best wishes, Pic. Yes, pie was my B-day cake. Sadly, no self respecting candle could be inserted due to the alien space ship like resistance of the outer layer. I even consulted one of our guests, a senior engineer with worldwide experience. He made some heady mathematical calculations on his napkin based on the use of diamond drills and laser cutters. "It can't be done," he said, shaking his head perplexed. We all said a prayer over the berries locked within and toasted Consuela's ability to construct a never before discovered impervious material; samples of which have now been sent to NASA for analysis.
