Quick! Cakewalk tonight - what should I bring?!
Answers: My child's school is doing a fundraiser tonight. One of the games is a cakewalk and I need to pick something up from the store after work. I will have very little time between work and having to arrive there, so there's no time to think at the store (Ralph's grocery by the school). I need some good ideas before I leave in just over 4 hours! Please be specific - if you were at a cakewalk and won - what would you want? Flavor? Appearance?
I would try to get a flavor of cake that is less "ordinary" (chocolate, yellow, vanilla) because there will be a few of those already. Try to get something less common ie. Red Velvet, Orange, Pineapple upside down. The more variety the more people will participate. If everyone won a chocolate cake then winning wouldn't be as exciting! Have Fun
cream cheese cake with butter icing
i would want chocolate fudge . with strawberries! oh yeah, but if you cant find a chocolate fudged cake with strawberries, then buy a simple chocolate fuged cake, and buy the strawberries separate then put the strawberries on the cake!
I would want pie..actually. Apple pie. Any kind of pie.
Cheesecake
Something/anything that looks pretty. I think a chocolate OR carrot cake that is nicely decorated would be PERFECT?
Chocolate anything is usually popular, LOL
Of course, people like baked goods that look more like home made, so if there is a bakery in the grocery, get one of the kind that was made right there in the store.
Pies are also popular this time of the year, such as apple pie.
IF there is something that is "freezable" then write a tag that says, "can freeze for Thanksgiving" on it, such as cinnamon rolls or coffee cake for the relatives on Thanksgiving breakfast.
What about a Spice cake, or maybe even cupcakes decorated with fall colored sprinkles, or maybe even frosted cookies? Hope this helps. :)
I know from personal experience that most kids do not like super fancy cakes. I have two sisters (10 and 8 years old) who would probably not touch anything that looked to fancy or was smoothered in fruits and syrup. I recomend something simple yet tasty like an Oreo cookie cake would be extremely popular or any colorfully decorated but simpley flavored cakes. Hope i could help! Good luck!
