WOYWW = I am late, I am late!

Good afternoon everybody. I know I am VERY late today, but school has started and as usual, we hit the ground running and it does not look like it is going to slow down soon.
Very little is happening on my craft desk. What you see here is my dining room table. It is covered with a pile of what is going to be display boxes for my DD, Karin"s cakes. She has 30 cakes to deliver between Friday and Sunday for Mother's Day and then three more novelty cakes for birthdays. I offered (was I stark, raving mad? to make the boxes for the Mother's Day cakes. They are super sized exploding boxes with a window in front. 

All the cutting is done, now its just a matter of putting them together.. Julia asked to see some of these famous cakes, so here it is - just for you Julia, the Mother's Day cakes. A chocolate sponge cake with butter cream filling (delish!!!) decorated to look like a flowerpot full of flowers. Everything on that cake is handmade by DD and completely edible (that is, except for the ribbon of course.)

 A close up of the flowers. Blogger is insisting to load this photo sideways, so keep your head at an angle and you will see much better.
Thank you all for your kind comments, and for remembering my friend, Cindy. She is now in the second week of 10 weekly chemo sessions. Still the absolutely beautiful person she has always been and carrying this burden with such poise and dignity it brings me to tears every time I just think about her.
Have a great week everybody, I hope to be able to visit a few more people than last week this week.
