I am SOOOOO glad to be done w/this cake! I got the design from the '97 WYB. There are 15 charms hanging from the middle layer. Each charm has a pic of the birthday girl at 1yr old, 2 yrs old, etc up to 15. The family made the topper, it was so pretty! This pic doesn't really do justice to the cake, but you get the idea. :)
