Cake-off!

This is always one of my favorite days... The Miss Brainerd Lakes Cake-off! For the past 3 years, I have been coming to this event held in the Brainerd Mall each year. Cake decorators from all over the Brainerd Lakes area come prepared for a day of decorating!  They bring their own cake, and have a certain amount of time in which they decorate it.

Every year they have a theme, and this years theme was "princess". There were 3 very talented decorators! People who come to the event pay for a ticket which entitles them to all the cake they can eat and a voting card that they can use to choose the "People's Choice" award. There are 3 judges that judge them on the appearance of their cake and the taste, and that cake is the "Cake of the Lakes".

This event is also the kick-off event to the Miss Brainerd Lakes scholarship pageant! This is the first time that the Brainerd community gets to see all of the contestants and pick their favorites. It's exciting because they have 14 contestants, the most in it's history, which has allowed them to add a second title... Miss Baxter! So not only will there be a Miss Brainerd Lakes crowned but also a Miss Baxter! I know that it is going to be a great pageant. All of the contestants are gorgeous and I cannot wait to watch them compete!

Always,
Bailey

Mary and I thought it would be fun to be in a hurricane with our crowns and sashes, so we hopped into the hurricane simulator at the mall :)
