You’re too young to care, but mami wants to impress the birthday guests.

“Let’s see what Yolanda thinks after she sees this cake.”

We can, and will, transform anything into a cake.

Me: Quiero une pastel de lucha libre.

Mami: Challenge accepted.

Of course, we have to show our fútbol pride any chance we get.

Mami: What do you want on your cake?

Me: SELECCIÓN DE FÚTBOL DE ARGENTINA!!!!!

Mordida and your birthday shot all rolled into one. #latinovictories

We want our weddings as picture perfect as the movies.

Even if the movie is about how two people fell in love and could never be together…

It’s all about the presentation.

Dark, raw, poetry like the works of Edgar Allan Poe that remind her there is always someone who has it worse – and if they made it through, so could she.
