Cake Auction

Our annual cake auction we use to pay for girls camp every year was finally upon us. This is always so much fun, and although I am by no means a baker, or cake decorator, I do love that this is really my one chance to dabble in this other form of art/crafting.


After three days of working on the cake, it was finally done, and the kitchen showed how time consuming it had been! I hadn't left enough time to properly dry everything, so I had to rush the decorating using some rather unusual techniques.


Once it was done though, I think it turned out pretty darn good. My first time using fondant and gum paste, so it was an experience but I really enjoyed it.


St. Patrick's day was only days later, so I thought this would fit the mood perfect. It ended up selling for $80 so I was pretty proud of myself. I bring Frangos every year as well, and since no one knows what they are, they are like a hidden treasure. I brought extras for people to try, now that they know how amazing they are, they said I would have to mail some back since I wont be here next year.
