Mei-Anna's 7th Birthday

Precious Mei-Anna turned 7 this week, and to help with her celebration, she wanted a chocolate cake with purple and sparkles!  I think she had a great, great birthday! Love you, Mei-Anna!




Baby Shower Cake

This little cake was created to sit atop a cupcake tower for a baby shower.  The parents-to-be have chosen to wait until birth to discover the gender of their precious one.  The yellow and mint green decor reflected this decision.
