Alexanderplatz is often referred to as the central meeting point in Berlin. Every day more than 300.000 people visit the square and another 500.000 travel through its stations during that same time-period. During the month December there is another reason to visit Alexanderplatz. On the square of Alexanderplatz itself you can already enjoy some stalls with music, drinks and food. But if you really want to get into the Christmas-atmosphere, you should walk in the direction of the Fernsehturm: Not far from there, in front of the Roten Rathaus, you can find the Christmas market called Berliner Weihnachtszeit. It is not hard to find the market because you will be able to spot its 50 meter high Ferris wheel from far away.

Mom's dear friend Harbinder ALWAYS gets a very special cake and this year I decided to have fun with it! I decided a penguin theme would be fun, and then the details just followed...

White fondant icing with swirls of white buttercream making "snowdrifts", an igloo made of crispy treat cereal and fondant, a "ice slide", irregular triangles of fondant make faux "icebergs", and hand molded penguins having a grand time!

The African Penguin (Spheniscus demersus), also known as the Black-footed Penguin, is found on the south-western coast of Africa, living in colonies on 24 islands between Namibia and Algoa Bay, near Port Elizabeth, South Africa, with the largest colony on Dyer Island, near Kleinbaai. Because of their donkey-like braying call they were previously named Jackass Penguins. Since several species of South American penguins produce the same sound, the African species has been renamed African Penguin, as it is the only penguin species that breeds in Africa. The presence of the penguin gave name to the Penguin Islands.

Two colonies were established by penguins in the 1980s on the mainland near Cape Town at Boulders Beach near Simon's Town and Stony Point in Betty's Bay. Mainland colonies probably only became possible in recent times due to the reduction of predator numbers, although the Betty's Bay colony has been attacked by leopards. The only other mainland colony is in Namibia, but it is not known when this was established.

Boulders Beach is a tourist attraction, for the beach, swimming and the penguins. The penguins will allow people to approach them as close as a meter (three ft).

The closest relatives of the African Penguins are the Humboldt Penguin and Magellanic Penguins found in southern South America and the Galápagos Penguin found in the Pacific Ocean near the equator.

One of my favorite tattoos. Danielle's husband proposed to her during this movie before he was deployed to Iraq. She said yes, and memorialized the moment with this tattoo.
