Let them eat cake

[snarlish.livejournal.com]

My mum isn't the best of moms but was certainly the best for birthday cakes, taking just about any request and somehow creating it. Garfield in 3D? check. Miss Piggy? check. T-rex? sure thing. Best one for me was after reading The Phantom Tollbooth her actually recreating the map.

And for my wedding cake, as my wife and I had met on a MOO, and had dozens of silly pseudonyms, she 'hid' all of them in the squiggly decorations on the sides of the cake.

Thanks mom.

My mother was awesome at doing birthday cakes too. A book for my seventh birthday was one I was reminded of recently. Always so much care and love.

Thanks for sharing :)
