Cake Decorating 101 . . .

Last March the quiz team held a fundraiser to help pay for the last quiz meet of the season. They ended up making enough money with the dessert auction to pay for the last meet as well as the first meet of this year. Due to the success of that fund raiser we decided to hold another one in order to help raise funds for the last three meets of this season. Zach spent quite a bit of time last year making his masterpiece "Jesus Cake" and decided to create another cake this year with the same theme. He planned it out ahead of time and came up with something just as good:


One of the key ingredients for him was to have the center of the cake look blood-red. . .

I was skeptical about how it would work but it turned out pretty good. . .

While the cake was cooling he finalized the drawing that would serve as a model while he frosted and sculpted. . .

I mostly stood back and watched the whole thing unfold . . .

(the top off of one of the cupcakes Gloria made worked out perfectly for the nose):

I think his "Lamb of God Cake" turned out just as good as last year's "Jesus Cake"!!!

Gloria made her own contribution to the auction with these cool BSU cupcakes:

I helped a little bit with the writing but she did the rest of it herself. . .

Today at church we held the dessert auction along with a baked potato bar after church and ended up with 44 desserts to auction off!! People are always so incredibly generous when it comes to the youth at church and we ended up raising enough for the rest of the season!! Very cool. . .
