Birthday
A friend’s generous heart and fantastic skills resulted in this cute cake for my girl’s birthday.
Feel so blessed for her friendship.

Oishii 9 – No frills
The Japanese believe in enjoying ingredients in its raw fresh form. This seafood don has no seasoning, just plain old goodness of the ocean.
