Elisabeth's Extreme CakeOver
"Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy...he who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men." 1 Corinthians 14:1, 3
What God said about Elisabeth through each Cake Squad member:
“My sweet, smelling flower, My Elisabeth. Oh how I have such a vast variety, all different colors, growing everywhere. You’re my flower, my child and year after year, I will be providing you with food, which is My Word; wisdom and revelation. As your bulb grows larger, you will send up larger stacks with more buds. You will also have new stems emerging as your bulb produces larger roots under the ground.
And the buds, which are young women, that you will mentor will be the buds that are growing off of the years of wisdom you have.
And then I hear peace lily. “Everywhere you go Elisabeth; you are my flower, my child that will bring peace to every situation you encounter.”
James:
I see a ballerina in a pink tutu with silver lining; Pink because of your childlike heart before the Father, silver because you have a heart of wisdom before others. You're not afraid in His Presence! You know that you can come to Him with an open heart to whatever He has to say. You are in love with Him. Your openness in His Presence has created an environment around your heart of compassion. Because you trust Him, your heart can remain soft.
Momma D:
Bona Fide! And the Lord says; Elisabeth, I have created you, made you and now presented you as one having GOOD Faith. You are one who, through the testing, has come out of the fire, smelling like a beautiful rose. And like a rose, you are the authentic one. There are many roses, but no two are alike. There is none like you, Elisabeth. You are the truthful one; the honest one. When I look at you I see your sincere heart; your genuine heart. When others see you, they too see that your character is one of Good Strong Faith!
Your flavor:
Chocolate Pecan Caramel – Because who doesn’t LOVE that!
Dal-Rod: You have a sweet spirit, child like faith, and a joyful heart
Notice the cake included all of the details of each prophecy. Her heart and each adjective used to describe it, the flowers, the pink tutu with silver lining, etc...
Elisabeth LOVES this brand of cookies called "Nana's". They are sweetened with fruit juice and are delicious!
She also LOVES fondant and snacks on it every time she comes to SweetLand!
HER TESTIMONY:
"THANK YOU CAKE SQUAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This cake absolutely rocked my world!!! It was right on! I was so blown away last night that I was speechless.
I heard the Lord say to me, 'Just as this cake was fashioned for you with so much love and time, it is a glimpse into what thought and love went into creating you!!!!'"
It honestly was truly a reflection of God creating and fashioning me. Psalm 139 has come more alive.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!!!
This Cake Squad thing has now taken on a personal meaning for me!
God's richest blessings to the Cake Squad and Cara Linn, Inc.!"

Sweet Elisabeth
Spending time at
Each time is an adventure when I show up and take part in helping Cara achieve her dreams and goals of running such an exciting and fun business.
Cara then welcomed any of my own creative decorating ideas for the cake she was currently making. I helped her make coffee beans out of fondant, which was one of me and
Next, Cara and Faith taught me how to dye fondant different colors. We used the fondant for making cake decorations. I rolled some into little balls and cut others into squares. I LOVE fondant! It makes cakes look so beautiful and I love the way it tastes.
