@dick4pies We did 40 pies (and about 3 cakes) because it was my 40th birthday! I'd have to go back to the video tape to count how many pies I took (personally)...but memory has it that she took a brunt of them as it was her first time...and she LOVED every single one.
@mudsleuth it's an inflatable pool toy / mattress that has an inflatable outer ring that's great for containing the mess. I'd post a link but I think I bought it at a brink and mortar store in Canada
