I hosted high tea this Sunday, and after a dinner of veggie pot pie we had a contest in which everyone split into teams and created their own fabulous Easter cake for dessert. Then Tori played judge and jury, awarding a Swiss chocolate bunny to the winners. And they say Easter has been commercialized...
Julian preparing to frost
Gwen and team preparing a replica of the Dent du Midi
Tara, Tim and Steffi with their model of Huemoz (spelled phonetically on the barn. My team!)
Tori and Stephen, creating an homage to that spectacular film, Dante's Peak
Julian, Madeline, Matt and Josh VW with their pink train wreck (for some reason, several of the cakes featured carnage...)
THE CAKES....
Top: A pig, and the Dent du Midi complete with climbers, rapellers... and trolls on mushrooms.
Middle: Tori's pet fish, Pepito, which she is balancing on her head (a feat she often performs around Bellevue)
Bottom: The train wreck, a Swiss flag, and the replica of Huemoz, with barn and cow
Gwen and Tara, experiencing the after-effects of a serious sugar rush
Gwen, Tara and I (with Stephen in the background, still campaigning after suffering defeat to the Swiss flag)
