Comment when checking to see how much to ship and how much to insure
Ace Hardware Man ask how much would you like to insure the cake - how much is it worth

I had to laugh - then My answer

Dad lets them know cake is on its way soon to be to Gracie!

Yes at this point were all like little kids at Christmas - cant wait to open cake box to see what shape the cake is in.

Yes its still in a shape of a cake.!

Step 22
Only a few damages.  Most likely it was on its side for a while
 fondant slide on the top some and cake slide on cake board some.
 But all and all Gracie's Pool party cake did great.

On top of the cake where the fondant slid it  made some wrinkles and where my dowel rods  to keep it secure were removed would need some repair.

  We sent some extra fondant for Gracie to help repair if necessary.  

Gracie always loved to play with some fondant as much as she loved to eat it.

So  seeing Gracie with her birthday cake
with her beautiful smile

Priceless - this is why this cake was priceless

Happy Birthday Gracie!
