Cake is so much more than sugar and this is lovely proof of that. Your words touched me this morning!

Thank you Peggy. Yes cake is definitely a way to express our love.

What a beautiful cake, and a heart warming story. I found it very moving. I never got to make a cake for my Oma or Opa, they passed when I was young. What an awesome way to remeber someone. Very lovely.

What a lovely tribute to those that have passed away. I’ve lost both my parents and your story moved me to tears. My condolences.

Thank you MsGF. Thank you Goreti. It has been a difficult few days. I know my Dad would want me to go on and be happy but I’m not quite there yet.

Oh Ellie, what an absolutely beautiful cake, and amazing tribute to your father! I know how difficult your loss must be, as I lost my mother and husband. My heart is breaking for your loss, and so close to your father’s birthday. I’m so glad that I was able to give you inspiration for your amazing cake! Love the little heart Tillie made for her Opa!

Thank you so much Toni. I believe it was fate that I found your cake that was such a beautiful birthday cake for your Father and beautiful tribute to your Mother and Husband. I thought it was going to be my Father’s birthday cake too but alas it became a tribute to my Mom, brother AND Dad. It amazes me how perfect it was for both of us. My Dad’s greatest joy was his family especially his grandchildren and great grandchildren. That’s why I picked your cake as my inspiration. Thank you again and I hope you have found peace with the loss of your Mother and Husband. Oh and I have to add, my little granddaughter Tillie had me crying today. She likes to sit on my lap and look at pictures of cakes with me. So she was on my lap as I was posting this cake this morning. She said “Nana that’s Opa’s cake. We need to put wings on it and take it up to heaven so Opa can have his cake now that he’s an angel”.

Your little Tillie sounds like such a joy! I hope she can bring you great comfort in this sad time, as my grandchildren do for me!

Yes Toni she is! Yesterday at the church as I was crying she patted my cheek and said " It’s OK Nana, Opa’s an angel now and I’ll be your friend". Out of the mouths of babes!

Thanks for sharing your story, I’m sorry for you loss, it is a beautiful tribute for your father!

so much love, so sad, so beautiful.

Thank you for sharing your story. I am so sorry for your loss and this cake is a wonderful tribute to his memory

Que Bella historia.. y todo eso detras de un Cake, Gracias por compartir con nosotros.. What a beautiful story .. and all of that behind a Cake, , Thanks for share with us!

What a beautiful cake. It is my mother’s birthday tomorrow, but like your father my mum passed away on Tuesday this week. It would have been her 81st birthday. We are having her funeral next week and so maybe I will make one last cake for her also. She is known as Oma to her Grandchildren, all 13 of them. I feel like this is an omen or something. Please except my sincere condolences xx.

Please accept my condolences Ellie and Lisa. I couldn’t help crying when I read about your tribute to your dear father Ellie.

I also lost my father recently just before his birthday and the hurt is still fresh in my mind. For some strange reason he had told be just a couple of days before that he didn’t want me to make a cake for him this year, I don’t know whether he knew he wouldn’t there or he didn’t want to trouble me because he knew I usually do my cakes after the kids have gone to bed till late night. I never did end up doing a cake for him.

Thank you for sharing with us your beautiful heartfelt cake of love.

Thank you so much milene! Thank you trudy! Thank you also Calliicious and Lilia! Thank you everyone for all your love and support. It means so much to me and has definitely warmed my heart and put a smile on my face as a tear runs down my face.

Oh Lisa I’m so sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. My father’s birthday would have been tomorrow also. Maybe it is an omen just as I believe it was fate that I picked out this cake for my father’s birthday. I loved every moment making this cake and I felt my father near me the whole time. If you decide to make one last cake for your mother I hope it gives you the same peace it gave me. My sincere condolences.

Sasi please expect my condolences also for the loss of your father. I think they do know when their time is near. I hope you can feel the love and support that is coming your way from our cake family here on CakesDecor I know I do.

So nice of you to your father. Such a tribute and dedication. Very nice family tree cake. May your fathers soul rest in peace.

Thank you so much Ana. I remember that you lost your mother around the end of the year. I hope you have been able to find a little peace with your mother’s passing. I understand you not being able to talk about it. It took close to a year before I could look at a photo of my mother without crying. Thank you again Ana for your kind words. <3

absolutely beautiful!

A wonderful tribute. X

Thank you Jacinta and DawnE!

I am so sorry for the loss of your Dad – what a wonderful cake. As others have stated, I too, lost my Mom right before her birthday – 2 years ago. I was out of state, so we bought her a cake. I really would have loved to bake her a cake :(

Thank you Jan! I’m so sorry for your loss too. We’re never ready to lose our parents are we.

I am in tears now – this was so touching to read. I’m glad you went ahead with this lovely cake x

Thank you Julia for your kind words!
