Every year my girlfriend from work gets involved with a fundraiser at the campground in Rockford, IL where they have a trailer. This year she asked me if I would be willing to donate some pops for the fundraiser and of course I say YES! So on Tuesday and Wednesday I made 227 pops for her to sell to help raise money for Mackenzie. I think I was off my rocker when I was making them as that was the most pops I had ever made at one time! Finally tally to go to my girlfriend was 225 since I dropped one and my new puppy dog Marla helped herself to one!! Once I got all of the pops done I started to work on the cake. I knew that she wasn't going to have all 225 pops on the cake at one time so I made a regularly sized cake, this way everyone at the campground could see what my cakes look like in person since I also gave her a certificate for a cake & thirty pops to be auctioned off! Here is the cake I made for her!
I decided I wanted something fun and eye catching so I decided to try something different with the layers! I look at this and it makes me think of Dr Suess!!
I decided to not write anything on the cake but instead decided to add some sparkle and bling! Since the whole fundraiser was for Mackenzie, a 16 year old girl, who is waiting on a heart transplant, I had to use hearts in my decorations!
Even from the top the cake is beautiful! I really enjoyed making this cake knowing that any proceeds from it were going to help someone who really needs it! I am waiting to hear from my girlfriend so she can tell me how it all went today and I will update to let you know!
