This is an inside joke because my dad has always loved UFO things and a while back I took my dad to watch "Battle L.A", which he HATED. He said it was "too much bullets" and that it wouldn't happen like that if there were aliens attacking. (my dad has a sweet accent and doesn't say "many", he says "much".) Everytime we talk on the phone he asks me if I've seen the dumb movie again and cracks jokes about it. He loved loved loved his cake and said he didn't want to cut it. I made the durable carving cake from here and used all fondant. The alien is fondant/tylose powder combo. Army men are toys. This is my fav thus far. Thanks to CC for the inspiration!
