Received the cutest cake design request: A Baby Announcement Cake that reads: "31 Weeks Until You're Grandparents!" to surprise her parents while on a family vacation at a beach house in Ocean Beach.  She doesn't know yet if she is having a boy or a girl, so she wanted two small baby sneakers on top in baby blue, with baby pink and baby blue stripes along the sides, and a pink double ribbon in front, with tiny pink roses circling around the top. Congratulations to both you and your parents!!
