Veggie Cake for the Hippos!

It wasn't a real cake and the two hippopotamuses at Camden's Adventure Aquarium are not your usual party guests.
"It's more like a vegetable terrine with kale and carrots and grapes all held together with a mashed potato icing," said Kristine Burke, with Charles Roman Catering.
As the hippos made pigs of themselves, a chorus of humans sang "Happy Birthday."
"It's different. I've never been to a birthday for a hippo before," said Kevin Chandler, of Northeast Philadelphia.
After the river horses made a mess of their cake, they cleaned up with a swim in the pool.
Unlike most of us, Button is celebrating her birthday all month long. Guests to the Adventure Aquarium can see her enjoy a cake every Saturday and Sunday in March at 2:30 p.m.
Button is celebrating her 9th birthday.
