1962 Seattle World's Fair Birthday Cake

I enjoy collecting old postcards, especially those of old motels with interesting renderings of buildings, vintage advertisement graphics, and World's Fair scenes.  Often the World's Fair postcards have scenes of unusual or experimental buildings / pavilions that were usually designed and built just for the fair and then be dismantled.  Here's a cool postcard that I picked up a little while ago and was looking at this morning.  
To celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the 1962 Seattle World's Fair (and Paul Bunyan's 178th Birthday), here's a cake recipe you can whip up!
