ME!!
I met Troy in February of 2006, which means I met Lucy in February of 2006. It has taken me 3.5 years of marriage and +5 years of knowing her to finally make her a birthday cake. Seriously how rude am I?! She told me last night that she can't remember the last time someone made her a birthday cake. Now one might argue that there are plenty of others that could make Lucy a cake. And while that is true, let me remind you of the fact that up until this last summer, we were surrounded by boys...sorry men... and Tasheena lives in AZ and Jasmine just married into the family in June, so the responsibility of the cake has been mine for the last several years. I have failed her. If you have ever had a Lucy Linn McKie cake for your birthday you will understand why I am so intimidated. She is amazing.
Well this year I decided to be an adult and make her a cake. Boy did I outdo myself. Seriously impressive. I might have made up for the last few year. Maybe...
The flowers are courtesy of Amazon Fresh...Have you tried it? Amazing!
Oh did I mention that I made it completely from scratch. I'm not sure that anyone but my family will understand what a miracle this is. I love box cakes! Seriously I'm obsessed. This one turned out so well though, I might be turning over a new leaf. She requested a chocolate cake with chocolate icing and whipped cream with fresh raspberries filling. And that is exactly what she got.
