Kelly's Cake Off for a Cause

Wow, where do I begin with this post?  It's going to be a very long one.  Go pour yourself a cup of coffee or tea, get comfortable because I think this will be my favorite post.

I told all of you a while back of why I felt so passionate about Ovarian Cancer Research and there were a few that were touch by this horrific disease with relatives, close frieds and co-workers.

Many of you may know that Kelly Ripa is a baking enthusiast.  She teamed up with accomplished master baker decorator, Buddy Valastro, from TLC's "Cake Boss".  Fifteen food bloggers from across the country decorated some lavish cakes for a cause.  Keely and Buddy teamed up with Electrolux in support of the Ovarian Cancer research Fund.

So starting today, exclusively at Kelly Confidential you can cast your for your favorite cake which I hope is the one my team decorated!  For every vote cast, Electrolux will donate $1 to OCRF as a part of it's $500,000 committment to help figth ovarian cancer.

Visitors to the Web site can get in on cake decorating too!  You can decorate and send a special virtual cake to a friend, family member or someone else you love.  Each day you send a cake, Electrolux will donate another $1 to OCRF.  Plus!!!  There's always a plus!  Buddy's top cake decorating tips are available!  Now that's a freebie you just can't pass up!

Everyone who logs on the the Kelly Confidential site and sends a virtual cake will automatically be entered for a chance to win a new induction range from Electrolux!!!  Now, if that doesn't get you clicking, nothing will.

Kelly and Buddy were wonderful.  They came around and talked to all of us like familiar friends.  Buddy helped each team and didn't fire any off us! 

Before I show you the cakes I need to give you a little background on what we were assigned to do.

We were all assigned a theme and our theme was the hardest.  All the the embellishments on our cake had to be piped and no one on our team bakes, we all cook.  The other cakes were embellished with fondant.  The embellishments were cut out with cookie cutters and fastened to the cake.  The fondant cakes were stunning...ours not so much.  Our cake wasn't the prettiest, but vote for it anyway - PLEASE!!!  Tell your friends, facebook it, tweet it....get our cake all the votes you can get!

Our cake "Here Comes the Sun"

"Take a Bow"

We had a great time - vote as many times as you can!

..and Diva, I had a great time going to dinner with you tonight!  You are a doll and I hope we can meet up again.
