Finally, after 20 years...RETIREMENT!

I have had the privilege to work with a wonderful group of people at the same elementary school my mother, myself, and my children attended.  After 20 years, the manager of our cafeteria is retiring and we had a party!

This is the cake that I created for the guest of honor at the celebration.  A Shabby Chic 3 tier vanilla cake with pale gold butter cream frosting was the focal point of the reception.  Sugar poppies, hydrangea blossoms, and leaves added character and interest to the cake.  I loved the way that it turned out!  I hope that you enjoy viewing my creation.

Our Airman's Welcome Home Celebration!

Our precious son-in-law was deployed in August 2012  to serve our country in Afghanistan for 7 months.  During his deployment he missed many holidays and family events; therefore, with his safe return we celebrated all of the missed events.
    I made this Sanford Stadium Cake for a surprise celebration honoring Stephen.

 Notice the Bulldog Statue at the rear.  It is a bulldog with a camouflage jacket, USAF  and Georgia G patch.
Stephen loved the cake, it was worth all of the HOURS I put into creating it for him.
