Barb, I LOVE this! Of course, anything with food is a hook, but a cake no
less...It's a learning experience that the students go through life
remembering.
Now, you gave me an idea. I think I'm going to plan a "Get to Know the
Masters Bake Sale" to raise money for the WTC's victim's families. My
elementary school kids can pick a famous artist and design a cake around the
style of that artist. Of course, they will need help from Mom or Dad, but
the parent involvement is valuable also.
Thanks so much for planting the seed, or should I say crumb-LOL...
