@mikaylascakery for the birthday cake WIN! I had erroneously scheduled myself a very jam packed few days of meetings etc, and had not exactly figured out when I'd get my husband's birthday cake made? So I elicited help and made an order with our local Cake-Baker Extraordinaire! Thank you, thank you, thank you! This cake was beautiful, exactly what he wanted and was so tasty! You 100% saved my butt! *Sam 1st 📸 by @mikaylascakery #supportlocal
