Okay, so I had to do something for a bake sale. We have no oven, so I decided to do rice crispy treats. I thought I'd ramp it up a bit, and here's what I came up with. I have to admit, I was sweating it a bit. The NEX didn't have Swedish fish or blue sharks for the longest time.
The attempt to imitate crab rowe... I used Nerds. Nerds are sour. There's only one per plate.
The salmon roe is Yogos, and they are sweet.
Yep, you notice the fruit roll-ups.
For awhile, it wasn't forming. It had to cool a bit before I could roll, and then it was a race to do as many as I could before it was too hard.
All in all, it was kind of a fun project.
---UPDATE--- 5 sold rather quickly, mainly to my American friends who were there. It was nice having a DONATION section for those who didn't want to buy a cake for $100.
I have to find out the rest of the story, since I wasn't there for an ending on the open auction (I guess you'll have to come back to this post to see the ending when I update this next Monday). There was a guy who was insisting he needed this german chocolate cake. We asked him what would he do if we out-bid him? And he said he'd let us hang, and he'd get another cake. Some of his staff got together and out-bid him. I was saying things like, "Hey, don't mess with this guy, he went to war school!" He was strategizing how to get them... I wonder if he got the cake? He was willing to pay $200!
