Mother’s Day anniversary brings another reason for a great celebration. Siti’s mother loved the art of cooking, baking and decorating cakes. In loving memory of her beautiful mother, Siti painted a charming “Southern Belle” and a dainty “Isabella the Ballerina,” which unveiled enchanting old-fashioned cakes of sweet beauty. Lavished with gracefully-shaped blossoms and bordered with frills and ruffles. While delightful designs decorated with a touch of elegance and artistry. A sweeter way to say, “I always love you Mom.”
