Slightly Enhanced Cake

Description
It was my birthday a couple of days ago, and my present to you is a somewhat enhanced version of the cake from Portal. (Which I was surprised to find out no-one had done yet).

I've slightly increased the poly count and cut it into eight slices. All slices, the plate and candle are individually bodygrouped and poseable.
Sorry, no half eaten slices (yet... I might add that at a later stage).

(The candle flame, however, is not included).

The scale is set to 30 percent of the original game model, because the original model is huge and this seemed a more realistic size for a cake.
The intention is to make it easier to lock slices to plates/hands for a scene without them losing their scale, but if you want it original size, scale the "Root" bone or the relevant slices* to 0.333333.

* For the love of Gabe, not the "root_transform". If you come back to me and complain that it keeps disappearing, and you've scaled the root_transform, I will laugh at you - it's a standard bug in SFM that scaling the root_transform doesn't affect the hitboxes (used for detecting whether the model is in shot).

Anyway, report any bugs in the comments. (I won't be surprised if there are some, I've not uploaded to the workshop before).

UPDATE #1 (11th November): At episoder's suggestion, I've doubled the number of faces around the edge of the cake so there's a smoother curve than on the original Portal mesh. This shouldn't break any existing scenes (fingers crossed).

In all honesty, I did this two and a half years ago, so I can't remember. My best guess is that it's in one of the TF2 fire particle sets, possibly called "tiny" or something like that, but I'm not sure.
