CONTEST WINNERS
FIRST PRIZE of $100 and a beribboned
CELEBRATE! II medal to Mrs. Leroy Mc Cann of Oxford, Ohio for her truly
ingenious Roller Skate cake.
"Foot" part of skates were two 2"
slices cut from the end of a 9" x 13" sheet cake.
"Toes", wheels and skate stops were
cut from a 6" square single layer.
"Ankles" were two cakes baked in
regular size soup cans, half-filled with batter.
Assembled skates were positioned
atop decorated sheet cake, secured by dowel rods and gently iced.
Tube 4 was used to add stitching,
laces, trim and colorful pompons (over icing mounds).
