Everyday Superheroes


This morning I sat down to watch the news, and it seems like headline after headline was just heartbreaking:
9-11 Memorials
Colorado Wildfire
Afghanistan War
Explosion in California
and all the drama surrounding Terry Jones...






Go figure, on a day that should be about unity and coming together, people in our own backyard are divided over ones place of worship or what book of scripture you choose to read.


And today, as we mourn those lost, it is important we honor and celebrate those unsung heroes who were first to arrive on the scene and last to leave the wreckage.




Which is why, today of all days, is a great day for a Superhero cake!












This cake was made to celebrate the birthday of a local man who served in the United States Military and recently completed radiation and chemo treatment.

Cake: Superman!
Choco-Latte Cake (Rich Cocoa Cake with Chocolate Espresso Buttercream)
Cupcakes: Grey Ribbon (Brain Cancer Ribbon)
Peaches and Cream (Golden Butter Cake with a fresh Peach center with a Whipped Cream Buttercream)



So on a day like today, who is your hero?

  2. The cake and cupcakes look great! And I totally agree that it's sad that people are being so divisive on a day that should be about unification.

  3. good post Paula. thanks for sharing your love for superheroes.

    My hero today is Mari Rae Sopper, my high school friend who blessed us with her gymnastics skill, military advocacy, and college coaching. Mari Rae died on her way to a new phase in her young life. Mari Rae died while sitting on the airplane guided into the Pentagon 9 years ago today.

    bless us all,
