THE OLYMPIC CAKE!!!!!!

For WEEKS I have been wanting to make an "Olympic Cake".  The problem is, we are oven-less at this summer abode and so the dream just hasn't happened............until YESTERDAY!

Yesterday afternoon, my Mom and Nan drove to the Beach for the day.  We had a nice lunch at "The Beacher Cafe" (I went with BREAKFAST - my fave!), browsed through a couple of shops, then hit the road to Wasaga for some more quality time together.  Phil went to a BBQ/Blue Jays game with some university friends while we continued North to make a delicious and CRAFTY treat!

Check it out.....THE OLYMPIC CAKE:

This step involved two main components:  1)  sorting out the colours  and 2)  making sure each Smartie (DO YOU HEAR THAT, AMERICAN'S??!!!) is aesthetically pleasing (no chips or strange bumps). 

We did our research!  Here we have our rough sketch and a practice ring!  TEN SMARTIES PER RING seemed to be the perfect number!

Nan's job - ICING THE CAKE!  She really knows how to lather that goopy goodness onto a baked cake!

TA-DA!!!!!  The finished product!  SO PRETTY!  SO TASTY! 

Thanks Mom and Nan for a fun day together!  Phil and I are about to settle in with a piece of cake while watching Big Brother!  D-E-L-I-G-H-T-F-U-L!

I wonder if it's too early to start making Christmas cupcakes.....I mean.....today DOES mark "5 more months"!!!!!
