My DD got her face on the cake with images of Anna and Elsa on either side of her (just email a pic of your daughter to the bakery dept.). I don't recall an extra charge either.

All the guests loved it (you should've seen all the girls at the party ooh and ahh).

Awesome, thanks for sharing! I will check them out

Yes, I’m one of those parents who give into commercialism and let her kids have character parties, shoot me!

Lucky you, I wish I could. I am the worst baker on the planet, you don't want me to make this cake ahha.

Yeh, it's for a kids party. Thanks

Thanks I will call Safeway, have you tried their cakes before?

I know, another frozen thread I am looking for a bakery to make a "Frozen" birthday cake for a frozen-themed party. I heard some of the grocery stores make good bday cakes but never tried any so please share if you've had a cake from Whole Food/Wegmans/Giant ect. Otherwise, would prefer bakeries in Tysons/Vienna/Mclean/Fairfax area but willing to drive further for a good one. Thanks

Hunh. And I just thought my friends in the UAE just had better housekeepers!

ahh, just a cultural thing I guess

What does sunnah mean?

Literally it just means road or practice but in the Islamic sense, it generally refers to all actions/sayings , confirmations, approvals ect of the Prophet (saw), i-e the way he used to live his life. For ex, the prophet used to visit the sick and spend some time with them, so it is sunnah to visit the sick, he used to eat with his right hand, so it is sunnah to eat with your right hand, he used to break his fast with dates or water, so muslims do the same ect. Basically it means actions that the prophet saw did that muslims emulate. Some sunnahs are obligatory, some are recommended while some are optional..

Maybe she never got your message about losing the baby. How can you be sure she did? Or maybe she responded and you never got it? Online communications are not always reliable

This is one of my favorite shows. Do they have all the seasons on Netflix Instant?

ISIS's presence in Iraq and Syria is fundamentally a political problem, not a military one.The key structural causes of their rise, cannot be solved by American bombs alone. The US can block ISIS's advances in some places, as it is doing in Iraqi Kurdistan, but eliminating ISIS is outside its power. We can bomb all ISIS members today, but unless we defeat their ideas intellectually, then the ideas will re-emerge in another form as we've seen happen over and over. ISIS will not gain the majority Shia in the Southern part of IRAQ, but they do have Sunni support in the northern and western part. The only way to defeat them is to make sure that they lose that support. They can not maintain their gains without deep support from Iraq's Sunni population and yes the locals support them, not because of their fundamentalist or "Islamic" ideology but because they see them as a nationalist revolution. They believe that the Shia Iraqi government is fundamentally illegitimate, so they're fighting to retake the state but this doesn't mean they want to replace it with an Islamist state. The only way ISIS can be defeated is if they lose local public sunni support but Obama's bombing and killing of Iraqis and syrians will only create more ISIS adherents and raise them as heroes defending their people against a western invasion.
