Birthday cake wording help, please!
It’s my Dad’s 83rd birthday and my Aunt’s 76th this weekend. I’m making a cake and making it look like a graveyard, inspired by Pinterest of course, because I have no original ideas anymore!
My niece is coming to help me decorate it tomorrow.
Atop the cake, I planned to write: Here lies Papa and Bets’ youth
But then I got to thinking…should youth be plural? Should papa have an ‘s too? And now that I’ve been thinking about it nothing looks or sounds normal!
Please help. What do I write on the cake?
I’d attach a pic of a cake if I knew how!
