Thursday Cat Theme Cake - Rudolph Meets Cat.
My elder son (16) came home the other day and told me they will have a bake sale in their school. How nice. In the bake sale they will have a raffle. How exciting. The main prize in the raffle will be a fancy cake. How cool. And it is me who will bake the cake. How...how... how... interesting.
Ho-ho-ho, let's bake!
I wanted to play it safe so I used my old Ombre Cake recipe. No blueberries this time, though, but raspberry jam and caramel sauce in the filling. My daughter (12) made the little sugar paste figures - Rudolph, cat, presents and Christmas tree - on top of the cake and The Husband got me a cardboard cake box from Decobake. All sorted out.
What was the most amazing, my son told me about the cake 36 hours before it needed to be ready so I had lots of time. Absent-minded as my son sometimes may be, I wouldn't have been surprised that he would have remembered to tell me the night before the bake sale.
Afterwards I was told that it was one of the teachers who had won my cake. None of my son's teachers, though. What a pity. The postman just brought my son's Christmas report and I am just wondering would his maths grade have been better if his maths teacher had won the cake. Never mind. Maybe the teacher would have been on a diet or disliked raspberry jam and the maths grade had been even worse.
