Cake Decorating Community - Cakes We Bake

I am posting this cake with a very heavy heart. I made the gumpaste pot and clay flowers weeks ago for my good friend and next door neighbour, Eleanor for her birthday, which was 2 days ago. Her children and husband had planned this little birthday party. But her husband got rushed to the hospital a week ago, couldn’t breathe. He’s still in hospital. They found a large mass in his lung. Eleanor called me over to her house this morning very early to tell me her the mass is cancer and its terminal. We held each other and we cried and cried. Her family has been here from out of town to support her since her husband got admitted to hospital. I told her about the cake, and said I wouldn’t bother with it. Eleanor said, please, go ahead, decorate it. I didn’t feel in the least bit creative..but I rolled up my sleeves and just went with it… Helped keep my mind occupied…..going to take it next door now…hoping the flower keepsake will bring a small smile in an otherwise terrible situation.
