We did that with a cake a few years back and sure enjoyed it. Peaches and Rosie were in the Independence parade with me today and really charmed the crowd.
Blessed Holiday, Deb, for you and your family!

Your cake inspired me to add fresh TEXAS blueberries to the strawberry shortcake last night.
Yum. And pretty too!
