When I was a child and then again later in my life as an adult my Grandma Otto made me an angel food cake with white mountain frosting. It is my favorite cake!
One year she made me the cake again and put it on this plate. She told me to keep the plate. Every time after that when I made angel food, I put it on this plate.
This year for Sammi's birthday I bought her a Hawaiian dress for her to wear during her pregnancy. Since she had a miscarriage in April, she gave the dress back to me in September. She told me that she just couldn't wear it anymore because she only wore it during her short pregnancy.
She said, "I know it was a birthday present. You don't have to get me a different present." I was heartbroken for her and thought that she needed something very special. She said she wanted an angel food cake for family dinner and I told her I would make it. I knew she needed to have my Grandma Otto plate. I gave it to her with the history of the plate. It is now an official heirloom although it was probably purchased at a rummage sale.
Happy birthday my beautiful daughter!
I love you! Enjoy the plate!
