Holiday Traditions (part 2)

Another Christmas tradition for our family is our annual Christmas Tree Cake Decorating Contest.  Steph's Mom hosts and organizes the event.  Often a theme is set for the decorating process.  One year, for example, it was based on favorite Christmas carols.  This year--it was freestyle.

The individual cakes are baked...they must cool...be selected...and then decorated.  After all have been decorated then they are judged and prizes awarded.

Here are a few pictures of the event.


Hot out of the oven!

The judging process.  We cast votes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places.


The prizes!  I won a Starbucks gift card this year.

Finally--we eat the cakes!!!

What holiday traditions does your family have?
