Ava loves Maraschino cherries.  She could eat a whole jar if I put it in front of her.  She’s a wild cat like that.  My doll baby turned seven this past weekend.  For those of you who have had the pleasure of experiencing a sassy seven year old girl you know the chaos and drama that goes on.

Ava is the sweetest girl in the world and she has a ‘voice’ for every occasion.  She can do cowgirl, sassy, populaaar, old grandma…the list goes on.  Quite the character.

This cake suits her in every way.  It’s feminine, fierce and sassy.  This Cherry Sundae Cake is festive for any occasion.  I know your family will love it.
