I found the COOLEST edible butterfly's on Etsy awhile back and decided to use them on a birthday cake for my grandma. She is quite the lady and I felt like she needed something fancy on her special day. She had a stroke a year and a half a go, and lost her ability to speak. She took it in stride.
She seriously hasn't complained about it once. (bad joke?)
When she was in the recovery center I made her a card that was shaped like a butterfly. (I wrote her a secret message.) The butterfly's on her cake were a symbol of her strength.
Wanna see it?
Aren't those butterfly's the coolest?
Guess what? A few days after the party baby Gage just happened to reach out and knock my cake stand off the counter and onto the floor! It broke into a hundred pieces. I was feeling a bit sad because it was my Grandma Morgan's. Hum... how do you replace something like that? Well. You can't. But you can make yourself feel a lot better by ordering a few of these online...
Can't wait for the UPS truck to pull up next week. :)
Happy Baking!
