Sprinkle Christmas Cake

This cake is a special bake for my beautiful friend Sasha @sashacakeschicago  I was so sad to hear that her Instagram account was hacked and deleted recently.  As the Instagram community is amazing, we have come together and dedicated a bake to Sasha to help her rebuild her account back up. Be sure to head over and give her account a follow as her bakes are inspirational and she is so beautiful, sweet and supportive.
