Childhood Cancer Awareness Month!

Every day 46 kids are diagnosed with cancer. Every day 7 children will die from cancer. Pediatric cancer kills more children than Cystic Fibrosis, pediatric AIDS, and asthma combined! 1 in 330 children will develop cancer by age 20. Treatment side affects can last a lifetime for these kids. 

You are aware now. Spread the knowledge...September is childhood cancer awareness month! 

 

 Today makes 15 days since my sixteen year old cousin passed away from childhood cancer (Ewing Sarcoma). I miss her everyday! She had a beautiful soul. She was so full of faith and love. There is no doubt in my mind that she is wearing a crown fit for a princess right now. 

She was very wise for her age and had faith in God that could move mountains. We love you Karen!

"To all the young people,

I want to encourage you to keep on walking

ahead, working hard at what you want to

accomplish in life.

This is the beginning of your life.

But remember always we are not alone

-God is with us.

You must follow the rules and respect

your parents, grandparents, teachers,

and the teachings of the church and 

any person above yourself.

Because this is good in the eyes of our God Jesus."

-Karen Davila

Smurf Cupcakes

My sister-in-law Renee is going to surprise my niece Angelina with cupcakes for being so awesome in Pre-K. She asked me to make six Smurf themed cupcakes for today. The cake is vanilla topped with vanilla frosting that I colored green. The Smurf faces and mushrooms are all made from fondant. 

I really hope she loves them! 

Anchor & Hearts Cake

This cake is an 8inch red velvet with vanilla buttercream frosting. The decorations are made from vanilla fondant. This is a remake of another cake. The customer sent me a picture of an anchor cake & wanted her cake to look just like it.

Karen

Thank you to everyone that has donated & prayed for my little cousin Karen. It means so much to the Olvera/Davila family. Please continue to pray for Karen's family. Please continue to donate. The family needs as much help as possible in these tough times. 

This morning Karen went home to be with our heavenly father. She began battling with Ewing Sarcoma (bone cancer) at the young age of 14. Karen is now cancer free and healthy in the lord's comforting arms today. 

I'm going to miss her so much. She was a very special girl & God knew that. She never let the cancer win. She had so much faith even when she was diagnosed. She knew God's greater plan for her life. Karen was so strong! I look up to her in so many ways. Karen has taught me so much about keeping faith and being courageous. She fulfilled her purpose on earth, to spread God's message and love to everyone.  

This isn't goodbye! I will miss you so much little cousin...so much! I'll always cherish the memories I had with you. You're not in pain anymore. I wonder what you're doing up there right now. I hope you knew how much you were loved down here, sweet girl. I thank God for blessing us with you. I love you always!  

Robot Baby Shower Cake
