Caring & Sharing November 2009

Kayla was once again asked by the Girl Scouts Commonwealth Council of Virginia, Springfield Service Unit to create cakes for their annual event in honor of Juliette Gordon Low's birthday. This year, the service unit held "Caring & Sharing" where the girls did a variety of activities. Kayla created three unique cakes depicting the day's event.

What's a birthday celebration without cake? Kayla created this tie-dye birthday cake with the official contemporary Girl Scout emblem in honor of Girl Scouts founder Juliette Gordon Lowe's birthday.

Each year, girls of the Springfield Service Unit make thousands of "candy crackers" for the Henrico Christmas Mother. Recycled cardboard tubes are stuffed with an assortment of candies, stickers and small toys and they distributed to needy children within the girls community. Kayla decorated this cake using her own memories of stuffing many candy tubes herself during her 8 years of girl scouting.

The girls also created snowflake decorations to be delivered to residents in local care facilities.

Kayla presented three cakes: devils' food, funfetti and white. The reviews were overwhelming:

Kayla's Cookies & Crumbs customer Cheryl exclaimed: "Kayla did great as usual!!!" New fan Anne reported "beautiful cakes for Juliette Lowe's birthday celebration yesterday." And Lynn, who placed the order, said "the cakes were amazing. Everyone thought the cakes were beautiful and of course delicious."
