God's Fellowship Cake

        Being a servant of God, Joanne, a sister of mine at church and I decided to make a cake for the church’s annual meeting. We both love baking and decorating cake. As an act of gratitude for the skills that God had endowed to us, we offer back to him our talent by making  the three layered cake. My daughter, Sophie  helped with the flower  making. David, Joanne’s boyfriend played chess with my beloved husband. It was a wonderful fellowship for us. During the Annual Meeting, our cake was the highlight. But of course, the main highlight, was God. The cake symbolizes thanksgiving for all the blessings that we have. The colors of the cake were the church’s theme color and it represents the different nationalities of the members. The cake’s flavor goes with the variety of culture that each member has. Stars and flowers are the epitome of the member’s role at church. 

My Princess's Cake

     Princess Sophia is a barbie lover and you can see that her room is filled with barbie dolls. Whenever we go to the mall she would go running to the toy's section and immersed herself with the numerous barbie dolls. She'll have her own world and imaginary barbie friend. On her 6th birthday, she requested to have a doll cake. As a mom, I had to grant her wish or else she would be a miserable birthday girl. We browsed through youtube videos and looked through different doll cakes. You could see in her face how anxious she is in having her own barbie doll cake. 
   Finally on the eve of her birthday, we started making her doll cake and like a real princess she was there standing in front of me instructing what color to use and what accessories she wanted to be put on the cake. Of course, she enjoyed lending her little hands on putting balls and flowers as her share of labor. We had a marvelous time together and it was a great mother and daughter bonding moment.
