Cakes: The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

The Ugly Cakes, are probably the most popular items for people to look at in the food center at the,
Iowa State Fair.
It is a kids contest, and tends to lean to the gross side of things.
All I can say about this one is, YUCK!

One of my favorite cake contests is the, Kids Animal Face Cakes.
It is nice to see kids can be creative it a cute way.
 The professional cake contest results in some amazing cakes! 
 This would be perfect for a baby shower! 
If it is a girl, that is.

Do you eat this, or wear it?

This cake looked even better in person.  It was one of my favorite ones!

This one looks like it belongs in a contest at the fair.

I had a great time at the Iowa State Fair!  I am always sad to see it come to an end.  
Two people who are probably happy to see it come to an end, are the brother and sister who were trapped in a ride high in the air for 2 1/2 hours.  Other than a slight sunburn, the pair were just fine.
The ride was shut down for a day and a half and then was back up and running.

On Friday, I will be posting more 
prize winning recipes from the, Iowa State Fair!

  1. My last memory of going to a fair was the annual one that came through the town where I grew up. I puked all night from eating a funnel cake cooked in apparently rancid oil.

  3. What cakes, the good and the ugly too! The owl cake is very cute and so is the "fair" scene; very creative! Pretty scary about the brother and sister and glad it all turned out OK.
