School "Cup"Cake-Off!!

Our school has an annual Cake-Off...we had so many different ideas that we couldn't just choose one...so we made many!! 




We made apples for all of the wonderful teachers...Jenny entered those! 





We made an adorable "Treasure Chest Island" cake!  The palm trees and ocean/sand creatures are made from molding chocolate.  The treasure chest is a Swiss Cake Roll stuffed with crushed up Jolly Ranchers.  I entered this and it was a BIG HIT....we got 2nd place for this one!! 



We also made a super cute picnic themed bunch...with ants made from chocolate covered almonds carrying watermelon candies on their back....a VERY CUTE creation!!! 




We decided to step out of our comfort zone and work with fondant this time....we made this beautiful cake!  This took us a while, but it turned out pretty cute! 


Jenny and I cannot take full credit for this one...this was created by a future J & J baker...Emily (Jenny's daughter) for the cake-off!  She did an amazing job working with the fondant and I absolutely loved all of the fun colors!
