Sugar Rush!

Bear with me as I post yet more non-gardening photos.  It was COLD here and we had downpours all weekend into Monday so there wasn't anything going on in the garden, except some very cold tomato & pepper plants.  It was 43ยบ here this morning, very odd for us at this time of year.  So far this week has been really busy with Loch's class stuff and Cub Scout stuff so I'm just now getting around to recapping the weekend!


So you want to see some of the cakes that showed up at the Cake Auction/ Youth Fundraiser the other night?  They were all amazing!  This is only a small portion of them, lots more showed up after I snapped pics and there were creme pies galore coming out of the fridge too!


How cute are the centerpieces?!  It was a Friday Fish Fry, so the youth jumped on that theme and did these as well as served up the dinner to all the guests.




 ... yours truly did the one below, courtesy of Mama Pea's recipe!  It went for $36, and there was quite a bit of bidding on it :)  Mama Pea, I was cornered in the hallway Sunday morning with the winning bidder gushing about how good it was, her and her hubby looked about 5 lbs heavier on Sunday, just kidding :)


lots of berries making appearances -



Below was some kind of apple/sour cream/praline concoction with caramel frosting that I heard was amazing!  This one I think might have gone for near $40.


photos of the youth serving up dinner to the crowd, just about everyone here brought a dessert to auction so I think we made a decent amount for the kids' summer camps!


Finn's Sunday School teacher made this one and it definitely had kid appeal - Finn made me bid like crazy but we got it!  :)


Speaking of going for the kid bids - BRACE YOURSELF ...

are you sitting down?


better yet, it ended up at our table!  (but it didn't go home with us LOL!)  My friend bid this one like crazy and paid $60, awesome for the kids, and bonus since she has a friend  who had a birthday the next day!


Friday Fish Fry, Friends and Sugar Bombs, great way to spend the evening!  :)

I've got one more post I'll put up with some other kid classroom things going on, then it's back to talking plants and gardens!  (well, for the most part!)

  5. Erin, those looks fantastic! I nearly went into a sugar coma just looking at them... Or maybe it's the fact that I'm baking Nadia a "Smores Cheesecake" for her birthday right now and had to lick the spatula. You know how important testing the batter is... ;-)
