A Special Mother's Day note from Richard, Caroline's youngest son!

As Mother's Day quickly approaches  

I thought that it would be appropriate  

to take the time to say thank you to  

my Mother.....

the ONE and ONLY

  Caroline Ragsdale Reutter,

founder of Caroline's Cakes!   

As many of you may know

Caroline's Cakes started with serving the  

very first Caramel Cake   

at my christening...(You can thank me later!)   

  I, like my mother, grew up enjoying this cake at special and everyday occasions.   

All the Mother's Day orders for Caramel Cakes,  

7 Layer Lemon Cakes, and my current favorite Lemon Raspberry Delight Cake,  

 reminds me of the importance  

of this very special holiday.  

I was thrilled to be with Mom as she accepted

the Crandall Close Bowles '65  

Professional Achievement Award

at Ashley Hall last month.   

Check out the event photos at:

The awards luncheon was filled with so many wonderful moments and all of the award recipients have such an amazing support  

group in the Ashley Hall community.   

We spent the afternoon walking  

on King Street enjoying some time together  

outside of the business as Mother and son.    

 At the end of the weekend Mom returned to Spartanburg and I continued onto Annapolis.   

It was back to work for both of us!

  

I hope that you all remember

the Moms in your lives on  

Mother's Day and every day!

 This is the perfect Summertime cake!  

The delicate lemon cake layers are

April in Ashley Hall School
The Tuesday before Easter I received a call from Kathy Bates, who had been my English teacher at Ashley Hall, and is now a good friend of mine. Her message blew me away. I was so stunned. Classmates Christie Pirrung and Cherry Payne nominated me. Whew!.... what to make of all this. Just wanted to share it with all of you.
