Description
“Surprise!” The shout bursts from behind the hydrangeas just as Chloé steps through the garden gate. Fairy lights glimmer in the apple tree, her friends are wearing paper crowns, and someone has carried out a towering pink cake with sixteen candles flickering in the warm June breeze. She stands there laughing with both hands over her mouth. When she finally leans in to blow them out, she cannot think of a single thing left to wish for.
Sixteen is a bridge between childhood and everything that comes next, and this little cake marks the moment beautifully. Present it at a party in place of a card, slip it into a gift bag with a bracelet or earrings, or give it to a goddaughter who deserves something lasting. On a bedroom dresser beside photographs from the celebration, it will hold a first pair of real earrings, a ticket stub or a note from Mum and Dad.
