Scuba Gifts for Jo, Part I: Birthday Cakes
x 30
Funny story: When I was just a week old (I'm an only child) my parents took me to the 'family' 4th of July picnic out on my great-grandma's ranch... My mom, who is known for her great pies, was scheduled to bring the blueberry pies for the event (and this was Dad's side of the family, so she really wanted to impress them.) But - this was in the 60's - she wasn't standing in the kitchen doing too much baking after my C-section... So, Dad made the pies - all 4 of them. The story goes, he was so flustered he put all the sugar in one pie. LOL! Yeah...
(...just livin' up to my nick there. @leefish)
My scubee was Jo. Even though there aren't all that many files I'm uploading her gifts in two parts, since they don't have much in common other than, well, being scuba gifts.
One of the things Jo wanted was some new birthday cakes. So I baked her some.
Or rather, I took some tasty in-game tarts and birthday cake-ified them. They're all found in Misc. -> Party.

Birthday Berry Pie - $25 - 1950 polys
Birthday Cheese Cake - $35 - 1830 polys
Layered Birthday Cake - $40 - 1896 polys
Fancy Brithday Cake - $50 - 1884 polys
(Before you go "OMG polycount!!," cakes have geostates - morphs that make the cake change shape as Sims eat it it - and that makes the poly count go up. As comparison, the base-game birthday cake has 1836 polys, so this isn't as bad as it looks.

@CatherineTCJD, I think it's either raspberry or strawberry. Or simberry. 
But not blueberry, unfortunately. That wouldn't be hard to arrange, though.

I always assumed the berry pie was cherry pie. Because that's what it looks like and cherries are my favourite.... even if they're not technically berries. Mmmmm, cherry pie.
