Joyeux Anniversaire to my sister, Heidi Ingham Stiteler. Wish I could hand-deliver you a cake like this one. Wish we could go back to the good ol' days, when you did my laundry Or simply the good ol' days… when we lived much closer….

Artistically decorated cake’s picture very nice. Decorating took planning and effort.
BUT, by far the prize-winner is the foto of your husband and you. Abs. beautiful and warm. So human.
