Time to Bake Some Cakes

While Ashley was here helping out, the kids had a cake walk at there school. What this means is that we had to bake and decorate 5 cakes!!! Each of the kids decided on a different cake that they wanted to make. Ashley and I then went and got everything that we needed. Ashley really wanted the kids to make a Beehive cake. When no wanted to make it, we decided that we would make it ourselves. When Todd saw how great it came out he told us to enter it into the cake contest as an entry for the 18 and over age category. As for the kids, Elizabeth made a Butterfly cake, Alex made a doggy cake, Eric made a Guitar cake, and Tyler made a wrapped present cake. On Thursday we baked all the cakes and then did all the decorating on Friday. It was messy and a lot of fun. The kids had a great time. It was fun to decorate them, but we also had a great time that Saturday trying to win a cake. Well thank goodness that lucky Papa was there. We ended up leaving with 3 cakes. Ashley even won best cake for the 18 and over age category. We will be bringing some steak tips on vacation with us for her. She won a gift certificate to a meat market in New Hampshire while she is in Wisconsin. Her favorite food is steak, so we decided that we would pick some up and bring them with us when we see her again in May. Here are the pictures that we have from all the cake baking and the final products!!!
