The Sweetest Cake

Jamaica, of Jamaica’s Cakes, is a High Pastress and a wonderful friend.

023_23 — She made our wedding day special (and delicious).

Almost exactly a year to the day after Ian’s arrival, Jamaica will welcome her first baby. I am beyond excited about this, and Ian and I were invited to the reveal of baby’s gender today. So we packed up the diaper bag and had cake for lunch (well those of us who are eating solids did).

A friendly fellow baker made and dropped the cake off in the morning, so no one at Jamaica's bakery was the wiser.

Carefully cut so the filling would not show on the knife before the wedge was removed (thank God she's a professional).

The new mom takes a moment with her mom.

Thank you for letting us share this specialist of times with you.

[…] Jamaica calls me. Regular contractions for the last hour. She’s trying different positions but can’t really find a comfortable one. She’s watching Wheel Of Fortune to distract herself. […]
