Hey everybody! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season. As for us here, I can definitely say that Santa was more than nice to us. Madisen and Wesley got everything they wanted (as did I thanks to Santa's helper "John"). It's been a couple of quiet months here, but I've had numerous cake requests in the last week. I've had requests ranging from 30th birthday cakes to 5 year old monster cakes to fairies and Thomas the Train, OH MY!
