Cake Booth!



I made a cake for the cake booth for the parish festival.  Hm.  Who could have predicted (a loaded question no doubt)...?  In any case, here are some photos of the adventure.  You see, I tied my card to the cake box and this way, the winner will have a little slide show documenting the origins of his or her cake.  And for the record, the recipe I used is essentially the Joy of Cooking recipe with some extra butter and sugar.

I'm nervous about the cake.  I tried extra hard, and I think it turned out well.  Is it wrong that I think cakes are a big deal?  I do.  They are!
