“Giving each customer a piece of a larger imaginary birthday cake in celebration for the company's 80th birthday is brilliant in my opinion. It's good for display and makes for a nice conversation starter. Whenever someone comes into my room and sees it standing on my desk,... More they say: "Oh, is that a Lego cake? How cute!" So I tell them the story behind it.”
