Some of my favorite things about Carrie are the unique ways (and how much) she thinks about and cares for others.
This is often demonstrated through the gift of food.
So when it came to be time to make a cake for our niece Emma’s birthday, Carrie made a cake that made her think of Emma.
On the outside, Emma can be somewhat shy, and not all that talkative.
But once you get in with Emma, and get to know her, she is bright, colorful, and vibrant.
I love that this cake fits Emma so well, and it was such a fun experience to watch her face light up as the first piece of cake was cut and moved on to her plate.
Happy Birthday Emma!



Pretty sure it was Emma’s birthday…
I hope she didn’t get married at 12.
Thank you for the great compliments!
Man compliments wife.

Oh, I love that cake, Carrie!!!
Great idea!!
Hey Doro! It was delicious too! You should have been here to try it!
When are you coming back to Colorado?
And what’s your favorite kind of cake?
And… how’s Nasser?
I would have loved to try it… can’t you just send me the recipe?
We don’t know when we’ll be coming to see you ….hopefully soon!
Nasser’s going to start with his master thesis next week. He can work for a company not far from here.
Nasser asked me to tell you “Früüüüüühstück!” 😉
We miss you over here. Hope to see you soon again.
Wow… that cake is awesome! Way to go Carrie. 🙂
You should have tried some. It was fantastic. And the coloring was ALL natural! (Well… sort of.)
I can just taste how yummy that cake must’ve been because it is so beautiful, just like 12-year old Emma!!
