Cake Decorating Contest

On Friday, June 1, Coleman has its annual Cake Decorating Contest! The kids make cakes and bring them to the MPR on Friday morning from 8:15 AM to 8:45 AM. Family participation is encouraged!

The cakes are judged and the winners get ribbons. All the classes parade through to view all the wonderful cakes! The purpose of the contest is to generate cakes for the Cake Walk, which happens the next day at the I.F. We run out of cakes at the Cake Walk EVERY YEAR! We need help getting people to participate in the Cake Decorating contest! We also like to encourage people to make extra cakes for the Cake Walk. They don’t have to be fancy the kids just want to win cake!

Cake Contest Contact: Becky De Shields, retrogirl@tam.net.
