Is It Live Or Is It Memorex............

As you may recall, in May my daughter tricked me into making my own birthday cake saying it was for a friend at work and had everyone at work involved in the surprise so I wouldn't get wise to her scheme. She surprised me with it at a party she had for me. I told her that I would make a cake for her to take to work sometime since they never got to taste the cake she tricked me into making.
Well yesterday was her birthday and where she works has a party once a month for the employees having a birthday that month. She asked me if I would make one for her to take to work for the July birthdays. I said I would and I would deliver it to her at work on Saturday. Just to begin, let me say just one word PAYBACK. On Thursday I set the plan into motion by calling where she works to verifiy that someone working Friday night was also be working Saturday morning. That night my husband cut two circles of stryofoam, hollowed them out and filled them with 3 pounds of sand. He sealed the sand into them and hot melt glued the two pieces together. Friday night I made and decorated the real cake and wrote "GOTCHA" on it and took it to where she works at 1:00 am. Then I covered the "fake" cake with RI and set it to dry. Saturday morning I covered the RI wiith buttercream and set about decorating it to match the real cake I delivered the night before only on this one I wrote "Happy Birthday". I delivered it to her, at work around noon. She was so excited, taking it around to everyone showing them her beautiful "cake". She was so excited, until she went to cut it later. From what I undersatnd, they didn't give her the real cake right away. Everyone she works with thought it was just great. They were laughing so hard they had to explain themselves to the customers all day.
So can you tell me which one is live and which one is memorex, #1 or #2?
hahahaha! That is awesome.
Can't tell which is which.
Wow, I sure can't tell. Great job on duplicating the real cake. I keep looking back and forth, and they look the same to me.
I can't tell which is memorex or which is live 
. You have done an excellent job with replicating the cakes. I'm going to take a shot in the dark here and say that cake #2 is the fake and cake #1 is the live cake 
, only because everyone else thinks it's the other way around. 
I think #1 is fake, and #2 is real, but it's so hard to tell any difference! Great story!
Reminds me of a lady I had in a buttercream Lambeth class - class being held at the end of March. She brought in a dummy cake to ice. Did the whole project and then informed us she was going to take her beautifully decorated "cake" to work on April 1st as a joke!!! Only I don't think she brought a real one to compensate for the joke so not sure how her co-workers reacted to being duped with a styro cake
This my guess #1 fake , #2 real- it is really hard to tell
