First Communion Cake

I got to do something very special last night in preparation for Ira's First Communion tomorrow.  I got to decorate his cake with my mama!  She is who taught me everything I know about cake decorating. We haven't done a cake together since Ira was a baby, so it was pretty special to me that we got to do this one together.  Since we moved away from the big city five years ago, we don't get to spend near as much time together as I would like, but last night we spent from 5:30pm to 2:00am working on this beautiful cake (and then she had to make the 35 minute trek home! God bless her!)  I will cherish last night forever.  And, I couldn't be more thrilled with how the cake turned out!!  I wanted something fancy and extraordinary to celebrate the most awesome sacrament of receiving God Himself.  I think we achieved that!  Many thanks to my mom for making the sacrifices she did to help me last night and also a big thanks to my Aunt Rosie for artistic advice!  Happy (almost) First Communion Day Ira!!
