The Cake Maker!



Today we had the honor of meeting and getting to know Brylee's mom, Michelle Donovan.  She is a baker and we had already had the pleasure of tasting her Frankenstein cake at Halloween and cupcakes at Brylee's birthday, but today we got to taste her beautiful peanut butter cake.  Mrs. Donovan used to do taxes for people but now she makes cakes for people as a part time job and also for fun.  Her dream job would be to have her own bakery and make cakes like they do on the TV show Cake Boss.  Mrs. Donovan comes and eats lunch with us a lot and we have noticed that she always has a book with her when she comes.  We learned today that is because she LOVES to read.  She also enjoys spending as much time as she can with Brylee and her older sister Taylor.  Mrs. Donovan may be one of the only true Myrtle Beach natives.  She was born here and all her family is from Horry County.  She is even a decendent of the Chicora Indians.  Thank you for the delicious cake Mrs. Donovan!  We look forward to the next holiday that we get to taste your delicious baking!
