So busy around here with cake orders, here is one for a beautiful girl named Ariele. Thank you to the D’s family for their order from Patticakes. Alexandra and I had lots of fun putting this one together.

Graduation cake
Mother’s Day for a mother of 8
Don’t ask a mother of 8 what she wants for Mother’s Day, it may cost you. Not money but time! I am not a very materialistic person so I guess that statement does not work for all moms but for me, there is really nothing that I need. Maybe a new pair of clog style burkis (birkenstocks).
When my family asked me this question I knew exactly how to respond. What could be better than a day in bed. Here is what I got, Poppa made me belgian waffles (I didn’t even think he knew we had a waffle iron) with blueberries and strawberries covered with maple syrup and whipped cream and a side of crispy bacon.
Olivia was taken downstairs and only brought up for nursing time, the kids checked in on me periodically to make sure I did not need anything. I rested, watched a great tear jerker movie with Alexandra, cuddled with Christopher and John Paul, received a pretty good massage from Poppa and just vegged out (lay like broccoli). For dinner Poppa made a really great churasco with his wonderful mashed potatoes topped with a creamy tomato and mozzarella sauce.
