2nd Grade Field Trip

Great Cake Bake 2013 - Celebrity Edition

After World Thinking Day, Reagan and I attended the Great Cake Bake 2013 at Neyland Stadium with Kayti and her mom.  Kayti's mom had entered the contest and we went to support her and see all the amazing cakes on display.  Somehow, I managed not to take a single picture of the cakes!
the girls got to decorate their own cupcakes
cupcake concentration
And look who ended up on the cover story for the local newspaper!!! You can read the online story here. 
If I'd known I was having my picture made, I would have sucked in my gut and smiled a little more!!  I'm concentrating very hard on that cake!
