with something sweet, a cake, and people remember.  It's all about the memories."-Buddy Valastro


When you think back to all of your celebrations you have had in the past, does a cake come to mind?  My daughter just celebrated her 13th birthday and she requested a 13 layer cake.  I wanted her birthday to be special, so I made her a 13 layer cake and it created memories that will last a life time.

Tashia Jones

Tashia Jones also wants to create such special memories for some very special people. God has blessed Tashia with a very special gift, she brings joy to people through making cakes. After reading a status update from a local Children's Home Facebook page about a 12 year old girl that cried because her mom didn't acknowledge her birthday, Tashia knew she had to do something, especially when she read that the girl ends up having to make her own birthday cake. Tashia prayed about it and felt lead by God to start "Tears to Tiers Life Celebration Cakes."



Tears to Tiers Life Celebration Cakes is a ministry for anyone that has a life-threating medical condition along with their young children or siblings, abused or neglected children, and children who require frequent or extended hospitalizations due to critical illnesses.  Tashia provides a cake to the recipients free of charge, she solely relies on donations and her own income to fund the cakes.

If you are interested in helping to sale the tickets she is offering the highest ticket seller plus anyone who sells 50 tickets or more a free Easter cake.
Life is sweeter when we help each other!

Start Your Engines

The car must weigh 5.0 ounces to race.

Race Day the scouts and parents come together in great excitement and anticipation of winning the Pinewood Derby. This once block of wood has been transformed into a one of a kind racing machine.  The parents and scouts spend time together making it their very own unique car by sanding, painting, applying the wheels and stickers, and the weight.

Let The Race Begin....

The scouts at the finish line waiting to see if their car will take the win.

Friends Hovie and Jack enjoy a day at the races.
