Here is one of Lynn's latest gorgeous cakes. Linda's daughter in law, Amy had her baby shower this past Sunday and fun was had by all. The flavor of the cake was apple spice with caramel buttercream filling. So delish! Not a piece left. Look for Lynn's other creations on her web site http://www.yummycakesbylynn.com/
