Wife gives hubby an AR-15 styled birthday cake at Friends of NRA dinner

A few days ago, Elizabeth Mais dropped us a line from Connecticut. She told us about the wonderful time she had last weekend at a Friends of NRA dinner. But she wanted to do more than just say thanks. She wanted to tell us about a cake.

As luck would have it, the date of the Friends banquet fell on the same day as her husband's birthday. So Elizabeth decided to sieze the opportunity celebrate the NRA, the shooting sports, and Bill's birthday all in one fell swoop. What better way to do that than with frosting?

Everything came together thanks to a little creativity by Elizabeth, Jenny-Lu’s and their AR-15/Gadsden flag cake creation. Here's Elizabeth with the full story:

Plantsville, Connecticut - Last year was my husband Bill’s 50th birthday. Because I was unemployed at the time, I could not afford to give him the party he deserved. This year I wanted it to be special and it was. Bill’s birthday happened to fall on the same day as the Friends of the NRA annual dinner. I thought, how perfect, an evening with good food, great friends, gun raffles, and camaraderie! What could be better than celebrating his birthday with 1300 fellow patriots!
