The PTA at our elementary school has a cake decorating contest and auction each year. All students are eligible to participate. This was the first year for Headless Boy #2 to participate. There are several categories to enter; he chose school spirit. They are the "Superstars" so of course he made a star cake!
They are allowed to bring it to the school with a coating of powdered sugar mixed with milk so it has a 'shell' on it. There can be no other decoration and they can only use food items to decorate it. Mama worked hard on that part.
I mixed the blue icing and sent marshmallows for decorating. The inside is supposed to be a small star. It didn't quite turn out that way. He also used white piping to go along the edges.
Not only did I have to buy all of the supplies, I also had to buy the cake back. He couldn't live without getting his cake. I guess $2 isn't too bad-and it tasted pretty good, too!
Stay tuned for Part 2...

Ya gotta love a fundraiser like that - - - YOU buy the ingredients, YOU supervise the baking - - - YOU pay the electric bill for said baking - - - and then YOU have to buy the cake back!!!!
love this!!!! I would have bought it for sure xoxoxox
Save me some in the freezer, we will be coming soon !! The cake looked great !! I'll pay two bucks for it !!
Ha - that isn't really fundraising is it? Cause I mean, isn't fundraising in existence so that the cost to you is reduced?
I remember my parents doing that exact same thing when I was that age too though - some things never change. :)
