Cake decorated with blue, red and green icing to match the muon g-2 experiment at fermilab. We did our best but itโs a bit shakyโฆ
We had a nice celebration with our group at Liverpool, my colleague and I teamed up to make this muon g-2 cake! Which, just like a muon, had a short lifetimeโฆ

A white fluffy cat next to a Lego minifigure white fluffy cat that looks a lot like her
The (real) white cat is curious about the Lego cat and sniffs it
The cat is now swatting the Lego cat, which has fallen over.
