Making Cakes for the Cakewalk!

PhotoStory Friday
Hosted by Cecily and MamaGeek



This has been a super crazy busy fun day! Princess and Prince's school is having a Festival this weekend. It is a HUGE fund raiser for the school. There are lots of booths, lots of prizes, and lots of FUN. One of the biggest money-maker-booths is the Cakewalk. The kids and I made 16 cakes for the Cakewalk this afternoon! (Writing that just sounds out and out insane, but we did it.) Here is the proof:

Here is the BEFORE picture!

BEFORE decorating (2 are on the stove cooling and two are still in the oven)!

An example of our simple yet functional cakes!

Princess and Prince did this one! I cannot show you all of them because some have the name of their school on it. It is a crazy world we live in...

Prince and Princess decorate one of our Worm Cakes while the Knight runs past!


Worm Cake: chocolate cake, chocolate frosting, crushed Oreo cooies, and Gummy Worms. Yum!

The Final Count!

Now let's hope lots of people come to the Festival and win these cakes!

16! That's incredible. You deserve a civic award! They should name a wing of the school after you.
Heck, maybe the whole school.
Way to get involved. And I love that gummi worm cake!

What a fun post to read. I am indeed impressed with the cake explosion. I better not let Noah's see it or he may expect the same from me. I love the themes for each one. I am struggling over making just a mickey mouse cake for Aaron's birthday next week.

YUM! They look quite good. And kudos for you for making 16 cakes and keeping none. That would hurt. *LOL*

Yum! I remember the cake walk from my school carnival. Now I help out with the carnival where I teach. We can't have any "homemade" food so it is called a "junk food walk". And we give away Hostess cupcakes and other disgusting junk food. Gross!

Deb said...

Sixteen cakes??!! WOW. I am extremely impressed. I have a hard time ever getting one made (which is why we tend to end up with store-bought ones for birthdays). I bet that had to be an awesome cakewalk! :)

My goodness! I bet that took awhile! :o)

wow. I got tired thinking about baking all of those. We have this tiny little oven, It would've taken me two days to make 16! Your kids must be so proud. Great PSF!
