 B'day
blowouts
Drexler's World Famous BBQ may never be the same, not after Saturday
night's birthday bash for the self-proclaimed Tres Amigos — Ralph
McIngvale, Marek Menger and Paul Song.
Their wives — Gaylene McIngvale, Sherry Menger and Linda Song — hosted the
shindig for 400. El Tiempo did the food and the music came all the way
from Mobile, Ala., in the form of Tip Top and the Topettes.
To give you an idea of the wild and woolly party mode, the four-layer
chocolate birthday cake was crisscrossed with "leather" belts and handmade
silver fondant "bullets" designed to resemble bandoliers.
Who Made the Cake's Nadine Moon and her staff spent the pre-weekend
whipping up that and two other manly confections (if that's not an
oxymoron) for the birthday boys. It was a camouflage buttercream cake for
Jeff Vallone's 40th birthday party at Tony's Friday
night. Authenticating a hunting scene, Moon dressed the cake with a duck,
cattails, reeds and a handmade quail nesting in pile of edible grass.
Saturday night, Craig Biggio blew out the candles on his own camouflage
cake complete with his ranch logo. It was Biggio's 40th and wife Patty
planned the "Roast the Ranchero" hunting-themed party at their home.
Thirty guests showed up for the seated dinner and round of toasts for the
Houston Astro.
