I was lucky enough to be able to make our Grandma’s 90th birthday cake as my first cake of 2013. She is an amazing woman who not only bikes multiple miles every day and takes others to doctors appointments and places they cant get to on their own, she has traveled all over the world. She even did hang-gliding in Rio a short time ago! The stars represent just some of the trips she has take around the world, I only got about 35 on the cake but there are probably almost triple that amount (she has never gone to the same place twice), and she’s not stopping anytime soon!

Thank you to the wonderful Gateaux, Inc for allowing me to use their original design for the cake, I hope I did it some justice! One of the best parts about making this cake was not only was it a complete surprise for her, I was able to share it with almost 20 family members that came in from the east coast to celebrate.
