Turn Up The Pink!

When I was growing up, I never got the chance to meet my extraordinary Maternal Grandmother. She was gone before I was born from Breast Cancer.

October is the Breast Cancer Month Awareness, please don’t overlook the signs and do your mammogram, your boobs & family will thank you later!

Mamie Rossi, this cake is for you. It is simple and yet elegant. And since you always loved pink roses, I wish you could enjoy it with me. So until we meet one day, I’ll eat a piece of this cake and think of you.

Love xo
