Mar '12. A co-worker was retiring and I was asked to make her cake. She was very family oriented which is why I chose the family tree. I found out she had 4 kids (hence 4 branches) + 12 grand kids with 1 more on the way. The girl grandkids are represented with the large flowers on the branches, the boys with large leaves. The baby on the way is represented by the egg in the nest :)
