Derby Car Event and Cake Auction

Noah wanted to make an aircraft carrier, but caved in and let me talk him into an easier cake. Boy was I glad and Noah was actually able to make this one virtually by himself. If you can't tell it is a Monster Truck Madness cake. It took to cake mixes-one yellow and one chocolate mixed to make them both marble cake. I shop sales and they only had one chocolate mix left on the shelf--I walked through the whole store looking for an endcap with another but to no avail. So the marble cake just had to happen. We then made my yummy homemade chocolate frosting and covered it with graham cracker crust crumbs. Noah and Stevie really enjoyed breaking up the graham crackers with the rolling pin in a bag, adding the sugar and butter and throwing it on the cake as dirt. Little boys loved the cake. The winners paid $25.00 for it. Cakes weren't going for as much this year, but we were still happy.
This is Noah's sling-shot car. Boy was it ever fasssssttttt.
Stevie's steamboat car. It weighed 8 lbs. Being heavy didn't seem to make it any faster than a regular car. She really enjoyed helping make it, but refused to race it. Stevie made her brothers to that. She was afraid it would hurt someone.
