3rd Annual "Family" Cake Decorating Contest

Ok folks, it's that time...our family Easter cake decorating contest has begun. What I love about this tradition is that we don't have a clue what we are doing, none of us! I'll bet the employees of Hobby Lobby took one look at all of the fondant in my cart and thought that I was a professional cake decorator...they couldn't be more wrong! I initiated some smack talk as the month of April was approaching, and it just might have backfired on me this year. I told these peeps to bring it and they did! We added a few "family" members to this year's competition, and they didn't disappoint! Check these short videos out and let me know which one gets your vote! Voting begins now, and ends Wednesday, April 11th at 11:59 PM!

(When scoring these cakes, you should consider the following criteria: Theme, Creativity, Level of Difficulty, Craftsmanship, and Music Selection.)

    Wow, the skills of your people get better and better every year! I'm very impressed with the craftmanship displayed in this year's cakes. I like so many of them but can any show/dress/cake/vest/dream catcher/what-have-you really stand up to DOG the BOUNTY HUNTER?!?! no. So that's my vote!
