Finally, I have an update on the cake! Here's a recap, for anyone who's forgotten or didn't see it originally:

MutantBoosters.com, in conjunction with FireflyFans.net, is sending a sheet cake to the Serenity set.

It will serve 100, have Serenity on Fondant, with a background of stars and planets.

Based on suggestions from the previous thread, it will read:

We're Still Flying
Serenity-Too Pretty To Die

www.mutantboosters.com
www.fireflyfans.net

Total cost for cake & delivery: $175.00. Please make your paypal donations to: donations@mutantboosters.com

The cake will be delivered Monday, August 22nd. As always, we will send a camera, but there are no guarantees they will take the pictures. We can all hope, though!

Once again: donations@mutantboosters.com. Viva La Big Damned Cake.

my first thought was some sort of Environmental charity

but could someone ask Joss--maybe he'd like it to go to cancer research or make a wish or something we browncoats could continue locally and then once a year or so on the same date everyone give the money to that organization in the name of....Serenity

Also, I can kill you with my brain.

That's an excellent idea... off to write a letter to Joss. :-)

Well, I'm all right. - Mal


While I think the new message: "We're Still Flying
Serenity-Too Pretty To Die" is much better than that of the previous cake; I think "We're Still Flying" is a bit of a downer, and Bendis (to whom Mal says "too pretty for God to let us die") does in fact die.

How about a simple "Thanks to the BDH."?

Good work! Do we get to see a photo of the cake(s) before they get sent to the set?

Jayne, your mouth is talkin. Might want to look into that.

Too late to change the message on the cake itself, but the card will, indeed, say Congratulations to our Big Damned Heros.

Topozio's always takes pictures for us, but it usually take him a day or two to send them.
I'll post them in the blue sun room as soon as they arrive.

Did you mean "Big damn heroes"?

"Big Damned Heros" has a different meaning.

Thanks for the correction. Between not knowing Monday's date & getting this wrong, I'm starting to wonder about myself.

Here's a description of the cake from Topozio's Bakery:

The cake will be a yellow butter cake laced with Frangelico liqueur with one layer having freshly roasted hazelnut pieces in a hazelnut Italian buttercream. The other layer will have a rich chocolate mousse. Yummm.

Delivery is tomorrow between 2 & 3.

What's the point of all these cakes? They know we love them - couldn't the money be spent better?

Such as buying a DVD set at give it to Roger Ebert and other reviewers, so they are in a good mood when the movie rolls around?

I've spent a lot of time and energy spending money in a better way... check out www.angelsfooddrive.com.

I do however, think it's an EXCELLENT idea to send a copy of the Firefly DVDs to reviewers prior to Serenity's release.

I'll start working on that. Thanks for the suggestion. If you want to add some ideas, check out www.mutantboosters.com. We need to gear up in the support Serenity department.

I didn't mean to belittle anything btw, i was just asking.


Glad you like the idea of reviewers - we may be a first there ;)

I think Roger Ebert would like it, he seems to have sense for quality - don't much know about the rest :)

And the fooddrive seems a really worthwhile cause :)
