So, last night was my dd's end of year preschool picnic/potluck. At the meeting to plan this event the staff said that they would provide hot dogs, buns, toppings, drinks, and table service. Everyone else was to bring a dish to pass. Same as last year's picnic.
So, I made a half sheet cake that had our school logo with children on it. I've thought and planned to make this cake for over a month. And not that it was that hard. I only make cakes for friends and family and not that often. So for me, it was an effort.
Well, I get to the picnic and the staff purchased a huge sheet cake from the grocery store. Nothing special, just flower decorations. 
I just feel so bad. I just wouldn't have bothered going to all the trouble. I expected other parents to probably bring cupcakes and other desserts (which they did). I just feel that if the staff were planning on providing an entire sheet cake, they should have said so. I think it would have changed what people thought to bring.
Many people commented on my cake, so that was nice. Thanks for listening. Whine over!

I hate pot-lucks were the food is not coordinated. Someone should have a list of who is bringing what otherwise you end up with 6 salads and 5 bags of chips.
Did you let them know you were bringing a cake? If so then they suck for getting another one.
. If I show up to a church-related event with cake and there is another cake there, my cake ALWAYS gets eaten first
