Hello everyone! I am so happy about this cake! I made this for my Mother’s 84th birthday and it has some special meaning to her and all of our family. My father passed 9 years ago and boy, oh boy did he love RED! He always used to say “he loved all colors, as long as they were red” lol As well, “Poppy” was his nickname that the grandchildren all called him. So upon presenting to my Mom, well let’s just say, the tears flowed. She absolutely LOVED her cake and isn’t that what it’s all about? So that was my inspiration for this cake. Thank you for this opportunity to share my cake and hope you all like it as much as she did <3

Julie my love…. Your such a sweet, lovely lady… And talented too… I just love this so much, and it’s meaning ….. I adored my mother, we were extremely close and I looked after her for many years..she was a saint and so misunderstood…. I’m so pleased to have so much special time with her, to get to really know and understand her….I looked after her for five years… I miss sitting on the chair in her room and we’d do crosswords together and chat for hours!!! , she passed away at 81 in 2001
. So yes, I see how very very special this is. 😘😘

Oh dear Calli, our similarities are MANY! I also look after my mom, have for many years. She is a 3 time cancer survivor and we are so fortunate to have her live next door to us. A great bond my mom and I have is crossword puzzles! We love them! She is a wizard at them and has done them my entire life. She is also an avid reader, but has lost the majority of her sight, so now it’s our battle to keep her in audio books. Thank you so much for sharing your story with me <3
