Alternative to Birthday Cake

My husband's 30th birthday is just a month away.

Right around this time, I begin planning his annual birthday cake alternative.

I call it the "soda pop cake."

He is not a sweets fan.

No cake, rarely ice cream, and certainly no frosting.  He borderline hates the stuff.

So, four years ago I came up with this alternative and the idea stuck.

Just get a plethora of glass-bottle sodas such as Virgil's or Izze.

Arrange tightly into a basket or box and decorate with sparkly, festive goodness.

I use the tall "candle-lit dinner" kind of candles so he at least has something to blow out after we sing.

He loves it and everyone enjoys taking a sip of the specialty sodas.
