A Relay for Life Mother's Day

Adam and I both love participating in Relay for Life and raising money for the American Cancer Society, but we couldn't make it happen this year. Time just wasn't on our side. So when one of my students said she was selling cakes at Relay, I was thrilled to be able to contribute in some way! Her team held a cake walk and sold cakes for donations to the American Cancer Society. She's amazing because she made 5 cakes in one week! Since I had to do the stethoscope cake this week, I was only able to do 2 cakes for her. We decorated the cakes in somewhat of a Mother's Day theme...and I decided to do one whimsical cake and one regular one.

Before I show you the cakes, I want to take a quick time-out to say HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all the mommies out there!

Anyway, here's the regular cake, which I decorated with shades of purple since that's Relay's color:


And here's the more whimsical cake with ribbon roses on top:


Which do you prefer - serious or whimsical? Reality or fantasy? Elegant or fun?

Whimsical! It looks more fun and it's not something you see every day.

Both cakes are beautiful but I like the cake with the Relay for Life colors. Purple & lavender are my favorite colors.

Whimsical! Robin likes the other one better. We cancel out one another's votes!
