Hi everyone!
We recently received the sweetest “Thank You” letter for the Christmas Tree birthday cake created back in December. The letter was so nice, we just had to share it with you!
“I wanted to thank you so much for the beautiful cake that you made for my mom and dad. It was more than I could have imagined and both of m parents were so amazed. I still can’t believe how much detail was in the cake, and then it was just as delicious as it was beautiful! You are truly so talented!
So, thanks you so much! ~Joy “
To Miss Joy and the rest of the family & friends: You are most welcome! The cake was an absolute pleasure to create! We love to design cakes with the opportunity of a lot of detail, It’s a nice challenge! We look forward to celebrating again with you in the future!
