Well, Pickles didn’t win any ribbons, but as she said, “We had a lot of fun making the cake!” Yes, we did. We also made a big mess. But that’s a post for tomorrow. Hubby signed in as a buyer so we could bid on and hopefully bring home a cake of our own. It smelled so good in the auditorium! And everything from carrot cake to chocolate pie to buttermilk pound cake was paraded before us. Two hours of cake, pies, and sugary desserts was almost too much! Poor Hubby hadn’t eaten beforehand and by the end of the night, he had won one cake and was bidding on a pie!
The kids got to present their own cakes before the bidders and watch first hand, the auction process. Pickles smiled the whole time. Well, when she wasn’t making surprised faces that her mother was bidding with a family friend for that cake! The auctioneer talked fast but she could hear $50, $60, $70 for sure!
In the end, Mom let the bid go at $100. It was fun. And Pickles was so cute when she went over to thank her buyer. What good things she learned through this!
Summer didn’t bake anything this time around… she had Rette practice. When she finished, she came over to visit her friends and ended up getting to hold a pie for auction, too. She was thrilled (insert sarcasm). Three hours of drill team practice leaves one sweaty, not ready to stand in front of a group of people, teenager. Sorry Summer! You were a good sport…
Here they are asking her how to pronounce her last name. And she’s telling them, “It’s not my pie!”
In the end, it was a really fun night. Pickles is already talking about what to make next time! Thank you Mr. and Mrs. D!!!
