Just had to share this… My boyfriend’s son, Peyton, was so excited about my win last weekend that he asked to make a celebration cake for me. :) I baked a vanilla cake and covered it with blue fondant (at Peyton’s request), and then he decorated everything else himself. As you can see, it’s actually a gold medal in my honor… how sweet! Thanks, Peyton!

Sunday, March 8th, 2009That Takes the Cake 2009 Competition - Post 2
Sunday, March 1st, 2009The awards ceremony for this year’s competition was held today , and 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place medals were awarded in each divisional category. I had two cakes entered in the Adult Beginner Tiered Wedding Cake category, and to be honest, I wasn’t expecting anything. Given some of the beautiful cakes in my division, I figured this year would just be a learning experience. Imagine my surprise when I not only placed, but I actually took the gold medal in my division! It was a great validation of the hours of work put into the competition cakes. :) Woohoo! Next year, I’ll technically still be in the beginner category… already making plans!
