Every Cake Has a Story

Every cake that I make has a back story.  The cake design may have special meaning to the recipient or the flavor of the cake may have great significance in their life.  Often times, the cake is celebration a special milestone, a milestone that was miraculously reached against all odds.  The cake I made this past Friday for a 5 year old boy, Kai, was one of those cakes.

At the time that Kai's mom placed the order for the cake I was completely unaware of Kai warrior story.  It wasn't until the cake was picked up that I learned how that celebrating Kai's 5th birthday was, in fact, a miracle.
Kai was born at 25 weeks and weighed only one pound at delivery.  He had many medical complications after birth and remained in the NICU for 7 long  months.  5 years later Kai is a thriving sweet boy who is doing well.  He really wanted a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse cake to celebrate and I was honored to grant his wish.  I was so grateful I was there to witness the excitement on his sweet little face when he saw his cake for the first time.  It is something that I will never forget.  Happy 5th Birthday, Kai!!  May you have many more years of celebrating your life and shining your light on the world!!
