Thank you Sandra. Kind of sad, last birthday cake for Melissa because she and her husband Rick are moving hours away up the coast of California. I know they will be happy there but it makes me wistful.

What a fabulous cake, Shirley! Great design and wonderful work!! :)
And I love the “extras” that I learn via cake, like the meaning of “Melissa”.

Love this. It is such a fun cake. Totally understand your feelings about being the last cake. My oldest daughter moved away before I started decorating cakes. She is the one who actually encouraged me to start and I have only been able to do one for her.

Thanks Goreti. We have to let our chicks fly away but it isn’t easy.
Thank you Pluympjescakes, Asya, Anka and June. I always appreciate your kind comments.

How wonderful to take the meaning of Melissa and make this gorgeous cake. I have a special love for bees, especially bumble bees. I read a motivational book many many years ago and it started with "aerodynamically a bumble bee shouldn’t fly…yet it does! Which means you can “bee” anything you want to "bee"" 🐝
So that makes Melissa even more special XX

You must never limit your challenges, instead you must challenge your limits

I love that Calli. Thank you!

It’s a beautiful cake, Mrs. Shirley, and now you’ve gotten me all choked up. I live in NC and my daughter moved to California this past June and I’m realizing it’s going to be a while before I can bake her a birthday cake again! I love all the work you do! @callicreations: thank you for the input! I wonder what book that might bee?

Psalm 127:1 Unless the LORD builds the house, the builders labor in vain.

Thank you Donna, that is very sweet. And I do understand how difficult that is to see our children fly the nest.

What a beautiful cake you made her, Shirley! Well I am on the opposite side from you, my mother “left me” and moved on to the beautiful countryside of central Greece…distance is always difficult to handle! But don’t think of it as your last cake, cause you can surprise her next year by visiting there to make her a birthday cake and celebrating the day. Happy birthday to your daughter♥
