Payment to my friend the cake decorater = $25 giftcard

Total cost of cake = $97.71

Giving my special-diet girl the perfect cake on the first birthday she's been aware enough to really understand = Priceless.

Little ƒuckers won't give a real smile for the camera, usually, in my experience.

You have to either a) trick them, or b) do something super-awesome.
