I am a subscriber to Beatlology Magazine and live in Syracuse, N.Y. A close friend of my family was a cake decorator for a bakery here in the city during the early Seventies. She decorated John Lennon's birthday cakes while they were in town for Yoko's exhibit at the Everson Museum. I have two very nice photos. One is a photo of John's cake that had the piano on top. the collector's footage that I have only shows the guitar shaped one. The second photo is of Ringo and Maureen eating the cake. Klaus Voormann can be seen in the background. I don't believe any other photo exists of this cake. It's just a little slice of Beatles history (pun intended!)

Happy Birthday Johnny!
This is a short article found in the now no longer published fanzine, Beatlology. It is from the amazing Sept/Oct 2003 issue (more about that later). It was written by Rob Shockleton. It reminds of of this story (part 1) and (part 2) about another person who had a connection to John's birthday cake on his 31st birthday.
