Today is my friend’s BIG DAY! Happy Birthday!!! He is one of the four people who changed my life (yes four people have seminal impact in my life so far). I want to thank him for all the things he has done for me and all the opportunites he gave me. So I decide to make a birthday cake for him.

Here it is!!!

Initially I was trying to make a 3D fancy cake in MATLAB, after one-hour struggling I realized how bad I am in MATLAB… so I turned to R for a simple 2D tasty cake lol.
