So I am starting a new category here on The Deke … its going to be used to showcase those very cool and very hip “significant others” who go out of their way to show their appreciation of the people they share their lives with.  Today - I start with my wife!  Story goes like this … Our wedding was on October 14th, 2006 - Dawn and I were married in the Florida Keys at an amazing beach side sunset wedding.  The night before we held the rehersal dinner … everything went as planned and before I knew it we were enjoying our poolside BBQ for our “Cheeseburger In Paradise” themed pre-wedding party!  As the evening rolled along, and as fun was being had by all … I hear my name being called and my presence was requested on the other side of the gathering crowd.  THIS is what awaited me … and this is why MY WIFE is the Best!!!

As you can see, Dawn went behind my back and for 3 months worked with our wedding cake designer on this masterpiece. To say I was shocked would be an understatement - it was so cool to see my passion and my love of Hockey portrayed in a yummy frosting covered lump of cakey goodness!!! Dawn spent quite some time with our cake decorator, going back and forth trying to get the right look and she really wanted it to be “perfect!” I’ll tell ya, there is NOTHING more perfect than being surprised with a San Jose Sharks Puck cake! I cant believe she was able to keep this a secret for so long - in my eyes, it was absolutely pure perfection.

If you have a story like this, or if you have ever had a cake of Hockey … Lemme know, shoot me an email and tell me your story - Send some pictures and I’ll post them up here on this new thread!
