This is the hardest cake I’ve ever made—not because of technique, but because of the weight it carries.
This cake was meant to celebrate a little boy turning one today. Instead, it honors a life that met Jesus after just three days on this earth. His parents waited and prayed for so long, nearly losing hope, and then their miracle came—far too briefly.
As I worked, my heart was also heavy for a dear friend who lost her child after years of loving and caring for him through special needs.
And for so many who are still walking the long road of infertility, praying for a miracle of their own.
I weep at the thought of all my friends who have lost so many children and the ones that may never have the chance to be a mother and Father.
This cake may be small, but it holds the grief, love, and unanswered questions of so many walking through seasons they never imagined.
——
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
Psalm 34:18
