This cake is for Abby's 19th birthday. This summer she served on a mission trip in Haiti. Her mom told me a beautiful story about Abby's time in Haiti.
On Abby's last day of her trip the little boys she'd befriended were tearful and upset about her leaving. She tore the bandanna she'd worn while working that week into three strips and made bracelets for the boys and herself. She promised the boys that she would be thinking of them and praying for them.
Abby is home now and is still wearing her red bandanna bracelet with Haiti on her mind. The trip was so meaningful for her she is planning to go back and serve again at her Christmas break.
This birthday cake is reminiscent of her time in Haiti. This french vanilla cake has a ripe strawberry filling and is covered in traditional butter cream icing.
In turquoise butter cream the cake says Happy Birthday Abby in Haitian Creole.
The red bandanna is obviously in remembrance of her promise to the young Haitian boys before she left. The promise of prayer!
