Happy Birthday Matthew! You are turning 30 and your wife thought, as you are a computer programmer, you might enjoy a new laptop for your birthday. And, since you probably already have a real one (or two or three), how about one made entirely of cake and rice crispy treats?
The flip top is made of rice crispy treats and covered in fondant. The keys are also fondant. The main "cake" is chocolate, with peanut butter buttercream.
And all those 0's and 1's at the bottom. I've been told they spell out "Happy Birthday" in binary code.
The monitor is a piece of rice crispy treats on a board, covered in fondant. Several skewers hold the screen upright.

That is an amazing cake. I'm trying to make a laptop cake soon and wanted to know how you were able to get the monitor to stay up. Any advice that you have will be appreciated. Thanks.
