The Cake Contest Fiasco

I recently posted about my sister entering me in a cake contest at Joann's. I've had a setback today. I baked all 6 of the cakes I was going to use for the contest and was going to work on the decorations while the graduation cake I am making for Jennifer, my newphew's girlfriend, after work today. Unfortunately, when I got home from work today there was an incident. My youngest newphew, who's 2, pulled out a chair at the breakfast bar and that is an open invitation for my dogs to get up on the counter, Buster specifically. My sister left the house and they had an hour of free time, plenty of time to pull open a box of cake mix and cross over the kitchen sink to the oven where the cakes were. They were sitting along the back of the wall, four yellow and two chocolate. He ate the tops from all but one of the chocolate ones. Why he left just one untouched, I do not know. How do I know it was Buster? The guilty look on his face, the hiding in the corner and the bulging stomach were all I needed to come to that conclusion. Well, back to the drawing board. If I have time to bake the rest after I get Jennifer's cake baked, I will try, try again and hope that I have time tomorrow night to decorate it.
