I guess if there would be a theme this quarter it would be birthdays!  Gracie turned two back in February and Dominick just turned one this month.  They really do grow up so quickly….  Melani made the “Hello Kitty” cake for Gracie– because for about two months before her birthday the kid kept saying she wanted a greenish-purple “Hello Kitty” cake.   And those of you who have read past newsletters know the kid can be persistent!  Think “Pasta Pasta”!  So Melani went online and got some ideas for the cake and put it all together.  Gracie was absolutely thrilled and that was all the reward that Melani needed!   I must say – I was quite impressed too.  Melani could have a career making custom cakes.  I’m trying to convince her to make me an Indiana Jones cake for my upcoming birthday…   Dominick didn’t get anything nearly as elaborate – but hey – neither did Gracie for her first birthday (or me for the first 43 birthdays I’ve had).  And it’s not like Dominick really knew what was going on anyways….
