I finally got the picture of the Land Mine birthday cake from my Daughter. I added the bow and butterfly since it was going to a girl and I thought it took some of the distructive look away from it. The wife absolutely loved it and everyone laughed when they saw it. The two couples were very unique people. The customer's husband that was injured severely by the mine told me a story after I told him that I was a little reluctant to make it. He said that he and the birthday girl's husband (who lost part of a leg) lay in the dirt telling each other funny stories as they lay bleeding profusely. The birthday girl said that it was the prettiest one she had ever seen and the young man that lost part of his leg said it looked just like one. Everyone in the restaurant took note of the cake and as I walked out after thanking them for everything they have done I had a smile on my face and felt good. I didn't charge them for the cake and took it all the way across the city to deliver it. That was the least that I could do.

What a great story - thanks for sharing. icon_smile.gif

You were right on with the design, which I'm sure pleased them. And then you graciously donated the cake in honor of their sacrifice for this country.

You're a truly kind and caring person.

I am heartened and inspired by your example.

Thank you.

Thanks so much for the update!

I am so glad you made it and that they all laughed and loved it. I am sure it was stressful for you right up to when you brought it to her wondering what her reaction would be.. so I am so glad it all turned out well.
It was very generous of you to do it at no charge and deliver it... I am sure it was greatly appreciated!! Truly amazing people!

Love that you added the bow and butterfly. icon_smile.gificon_smile.gif
