OK, let’s review:

For the first Cake Day in 2008, I posted two MiniMoni baked-goods-related videos – and a naughty pun that Brother Ray Mescallado appreciated about the kind of “pie” two lucky bastards were getting from Ai Kago and Nozomi Tsuji at the time – at this blog’s predecessor MotokoAoyama.com, and a YouTube clip of Reina Tanaka working in a restaurant for a TV skit at So Hot She Shits Fire.

For the second Cake Day in 2009, I posted a different kind of baked good: my smoked paprika chicken thighs recipe here at TGML, and some “cheesecake” (i.e. some bikini shots of Reina) over at SHSSF.

For the third Cake Day, I didn’t know what to do. I cook, but I don’t usually bake (my sole baking attempts have been a couple of instances of buying Pillsbury Snoopy Christmas Cookies and following the package directions), and I could never top my blogging BFF and fellow Cancerian VeePinku’s Yuke Yuke Monkey Cake. Then my fiancee Tara came to the rescue with something she makes on the regular…

Tara makes the best goddamn motherfucking brownies I have ever eaten in my life. Granted, she starts out with a boxed brownie mix, but whatever she does in the process, they come out absolutely moist and brilliant. Say they’re made with love, if you will, but she does these brownies very well.

Of course, to frame Tara’s brownies, I had to represent in true The Groove Music Life style. Grabbing something MoMusu or Reina would have been expected of me, so I figured I’d flip the script and show off something I’d been trying to nail on eBay for months: a Koda Kumi plush bear! (At least, I think it’s a bear. I know Kuu-chin designed it…) Throw in a coffee table book of THE BAND THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME A LOT SOONER THAN THIS PAST MONDAY NIGHT and the assembled version of the pyramid from Ace Frehley’s Anomaly album, and I figured that would make a perfect trio for Cake Day III. (Also, since Gene Simmons admits to having a notorious sweet tooth, I figured the Ace Frehley pyramid would be to “The Demon” what garlic is to vampires…)
