I volunteered to make a cake for a community benefit for a family who lost their house due to a fire.
I am stumped on what type of decorations I would like to do for this. It will be a large cake to serve many. Am planning on my square pans and stacking them.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Ohh, tough. I lost my house and all my belongings in a house fire one time and I can't think of anything on a cake design that would work. I would just be so happy someone was willing to even bake one for me. To me, I would like to be reminded of happy sunny funny times.
when my house burned, my friends got together and had a 'house got too warm' party. where they brought me differnt things that were donated / bought for us. It was a play on the 'housewarming' theme.
But, my husband and I both have a great sense of humor, as do all my friends. yes we were devistated, but we had to laugh about it. (mostly that contrary to always telling myhusband I didnt dust because dirt puts out fires)
you CAN do a cake that is a dedication to the firemen. That would be nice.
or just do a nice stacked cake that will be eaten by a family. like if someone asked for a cake for a dinner party.
I just did a benifit cake for a girl that died, HEr favorite thing is the world was Jeff Gordan. So my cake reflected that. Everyone thought it was a beautiful tribute to her life and her passion. the one I did for my church was a wooden cross. it was well recieved, of course it was easter.
If I was doing a 'generic' benifit cake, I might just do tiers in fondant, with pretty borders, maybe a bow on top.
The other thing I have done is had them raffle off a cake, the winner then picked the date and the type of cake (in a certain range)- it was then personalized to their tastes, (john deere emblem).
