She had a talent for baking, not only did it taste amazing, but she also made it look very artsy. She would prepare a cake in April for her April Babies….The fruit cake was made with so much love, it was a sponge cake with fruit and cream, we will never have the pleasure of devouring it again, right Rob? :)
