So last night was the PTO's Dad's Cake Bake. Each year they have a theme and parents, preferably the dad's, but everyone does it, make a cake to best fit that theme, or one of the other ribbon categories like most scrumptious, etc. Then they award ribbons, and then we auction off the cakes to raise money for PTO activities. So this year the theme was "Traveling Down Memory Lane" so we decided to go with something retro, from our childhood. So pacman it was! :) So we made a pacman cake, well actually Nick and Izzy made it. All I did was frost it and sort of guide them with the theme, but I thought it came out really cute, and I was proud of Izzy and Nick for working so hard on it and having fun with it. Normally when we do a cake, like last year, we think we have a good idea and then we get there and are sorta like oh man there are way better cakes, but this year I was really proud of our cake, and PTO was selling hot dog meals near where our cake was so I got to hear the judges, and parents and kids who saw it, and everyone seemed to love it. So then they announce the winners of each category and we come away with nothing, BUT then they start the honorable mentions, and the say "and now for the cake that has taken us all down memory lane and reminded us of our days in the arcade, the pacman cake!" and I swear we got the best applause and cheers. So we did come away with honorable mention and a ribbon, and Izzy was thrilled with it. So that's my fun night and here is our cute cake, with Izzy, and then her ribbon.
