    Just got on after a few days absence and what do I see but Lena's amazing inaugural cake! A beautiful result is a wonderful reward. Isn't it just so satisfying to make something with your own hands and TLC and have it turn out great? I know Mama Jett is very proud, as she should be. There is nothing like being able to pass on your passion to your child. Congratulations and high 5!

    Way to go Lena - looks like you're taking after your mama! If you've master this at 14, you're on your way to making some of Ahmed's creations next (and maybe there's a bakery or catering company in your future?!?)...keep up the great work, Lena, and give my best to your mama.
