When I was a little girl. I wanted to be a Ballerina. I lived in a very small community that did not offer dance lessons of any type. My mother bought me some ballet slippers when I was 6 years old. That year for my birthday she made me a cake that I thought was the most wonderful of all. My grandmother had a set of 3 tier cake pans, that you would make a wedding cake with. Mom made me a cake with them, frosted in light pink with dancing ballerinas all around the tiers. On the very top was a much larger ballerina dressed in a pink tutu! For some reason, mother did not take pictures of this particular birthday party. So I do not have a picture of it. But I have never forgot it! Funny how a simple picture can bring back distant memories otherwise forgotten. I hope you take time today to make some special memories with the little people in your life.Hugs,
Lorri

Hi Lorri. Did you ever rec'e my package of my blog give away? I am getting ready to post a new one and may rethink my mailing on this one. Hope you are doing well! Sharon
what a sweet story of your mom trying to make your ballerina dreams come true! You still have your memories of the day! I love vintage cake or cupcake toppers, don't you?
Lorri...I always wished for a birthday cake just like yours.
Hi Lorri; I love that sweet memory of your birthday. Your Mom sounds like a very loving and caring Lady. The ballerina's are so sweet looking, my daughter too ballet lessons when she was small, I so miss that... Thanks for Sharing.

What gorgeous little ballerinas Lorri!! And very timely for me!! I am picking up tulle fabric tomorrow - I got a fantastic tip for making little tutu's and am making one for Baby Kay's first birthday tea! We are all ballerina mad at the minute getting things together. And it is a lovely reminder to enjoy this time I have with her! Thanks for a great post - really enjoyed reading it this evening!

What a sweet story. I remember so many of the cakes my mom made me when I was growing up. Amazing what our moms could do for us with a little imagination and a lot of hard work, isn't it?
I love the little ballerinas, they are so pretty. Your birthday cake sounds dreamy, I'm going to keep that one in mind. I make cakes and may be able to use that idea someday.
Oh, I love those cake toppers! I wanted to be a ballerina too. However, my toes are very happy I was not able to pursue that career!
HELLO LORRIE,

I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE A VET AS A CHILD
