San Antonio's Lila Smethurst baked a cake inspired by Alithia Ramirez, a 10-year-old killed during a mass shooting at Robb Elementary.

Robb Elementary shooting victim Alithia Ramirez would have turned 12 Sunday, and San Antonio 's Kids Baking Champion honored her memory with a cake inspired by the young girl's favorite things. Lila Smethurst , who is 12 herself, met Alithia 's family Saturday to present them with a customized cake commemorating the girl's April 28 birthday. Alithia was among the 19 students and two teachers killed in the May 2022 massacre in Uvalde .

Purple frosting and butterfly accents are also a nod to a few of Altihia's favorites.
