Fox's birthday is tomorrow so Brenda made him a cake. He asked for one shaped like a star. Brenda had the option of going out and buying a cake pan shaped like a star or she could make cake and cut it into the desired shape.
She chose to cut the cake, but being a perfectionist she performed some rudimentary geometry to get five equal points on the star using a pentagon with 3 inch sides and determined the radius of the circle that she would use in order to create the perfect star.

Jaron and I read this together and all we can say is "WOW"! Oh that Jay and I could be so nerdy. Maybe I'd be able to help him with his math or maybe he wouldn't need my help in the first place! It's a beautiful cake!
Wow. I just aim to not have the cake burnt.
Yeah, she's a dork...but the cake looks great!!!!
