Shoe loving little Cashlyn
I'm realizing I'm not happy with a cake until I've taken a brush and gels to it. It's not everyone's style, but as long as the clients happy, I can't change: ) 99.9% edible (box, shoes, tissue are sugar). Just a toothpick one stuborn chocolate sandle strap...

I can't say enough good about icing smiles, inc.

This cake was created for Joleesa, who's turning 11 today. She likes cheetah girls, and high school musical. Remember cranking the music and singing into the hair brush?
