How About a Little Fondant with Your Pump?
When I opened the email from Kristie and saw this picture, I laughed out loud at the irony. Her beautiful daughter, Ava, has type 1 diabetes and recently went on an insulin pump. So when her tenth birthday rolled around and she asked for a birthday cake in the shape of her Ping, Katie made it happen.
"Doesn't that fit the definition of irony?" Katie asked in her email.
Between Ping cakes and Novolog cake pops, I think the Cake Boss has some stiff competition in the DOC. :) Thanks for sharing your photo, Katie, and happy birthday to Ava!!

I love it.

That's awesome but it looks like it is about time to change the battery ;)

So funny. I was just watching Cake Boss last night and I wondered what kind of diabetes cake he might make. Maybe something like this one! Great!

My daughter and I made one for a pump'n pool party to celebrate when she first got her pump. It looked a lot like this one, but pink :) (it was also a back to school party) Fun stuff!

My daughter, Taylor, has diabetes and I just showed her the cake. She is 6 and has a ping. I wasn't sure what she would say, but in her typical Taylor style she looked at the cake and said: "That is totally awesome!" I admire and look up to her every minute of every day. Thanks for sharing :)
