The local radio station invited its listeners to send in a letter telling why their mother should be picked to receive a collection of prizes for Mother's Day.  This cake was one of the prizes.  The mother selected received many gifts including this cake, silver earrings, a floral arrangement, a gift basket from the local winery, a massage, a certificate for 2 hour house cleaning plus other gifts from local businesses.
