The cake contest

My big sister works at Joann's on South Hill. While I was away on my 11 day adventure with my baby sister, she signed me up for a cake decorating contest at her store. Mind you I arrived home Saturday afternoon and I just got the paper from her today stating the rules of this contest. I also have only attended one cake decorating course but nonetheless, she has entered me into this contest. I think I came up with a "cute" idea for the theme which is Summer in the Northwest. I'm going to use my new hexagon shaped cake pans which I purchased while in Naperville. (There is a Wilton store there! SO many neat things, so little to spend.) At any rate, I'm going to start making some fondant figures tomorrow after work, while my gigantic cake is baking. This will be a somewhat new experience as I have only made one fondant figure. Oh well, it's all in fun and it will be interesting to see other cakes. Hopefully my sister will take some pictures for me as I will be working during the judging, which happens at noon. Wish me luck!
