Rian and Cakes for Africa grant Erin's 16th birthday wish!

Rian and the Scenic Drive team were able to organise a birthday surprise for young Erin on her 16th birthday. Read on to see the unforgettable Make My Monday moment unfold. 

Scenic Drive listener Mechelle de Jager sent us a Make My Monday request on behalf of her daughter, Erin. Mechelle wanted to surprise Erin with a fabulous birthday cake, saying her daughter deserves it because she always does what she can to help others.

Here is Mechelle's letter:

Good day Drive@Jacaranda FM,

I would really, really appreciate if you can help me make Monday 5 March very special. It is my daughter Erin's 16th birthday.

Erin goes out of her way to make her friends & family feels special.

Between work and home and her two brothers, there is little to no time to put a birthday cake and treats together.

If you can help me out with a unicorn cake I would really appreciate it.

Please help me make Erin feel special for her birthday. 

Sonja from Cakes for Africa graciously agreed to make Mechelle and Erin's Monday with this beautiful cake:

The cake - a four-tier chocolate and vanilla sponge creation that can be cut into 200 slices - was delivered to Erin's house on Monday afternoon.

Erin was brought to tears by the gesture. See her reaction to the surprise in the video below:
