DC: Birthday Cake


she made a magical cake hoping to inspire the company of
the birthday fairy

had heard the breeze tell the trees
of a fairy that dances for cake

she believed with all her heart
like a wish
from end to start

upon opening her sweet eyes
a fairy landed upon her hand
and danced and danced
a spell of charm
~


i wish i had photos
of the beautiful cakes my mother use to make
they were a thing of whimsy and celebration
they inspired awe and amazement

  5. Hey, you did it! Congratulations, a whole month of beautiful faces. You must be feeling so proud. I've enjoyed your month to the max. Love the three cakes. That so reminds me of my three and their favourites. Also, I quite like the antique paper look. It somehow feels like it belongs. :D Big hugs for a sweet weekend.

  21. What a celebration at the 29 Faces challenge finish.
    I'm bowled over by the Three Cakes hat, what an ingenious idea, with mushrooms and hearts.
    And then as a final flourish there is the dancing fairy, magical within her pink crystal.
    Beautiful and thoughtful.

  22. Cake! I love cake! Someone asked me once what my favorite food was, and I answered, "Cake!" I am awed and absolutely delighted by her birthday cake. I'd dance for that, too! Though my leg won't lift half as high. Your mom's cakes sound amazing!
