I am thinking about doing a creative cache CAKE contest at the bash. This would be a little something for the creative ladies (or guys who like to bake 😉 ) and would be a fun family activity for the whole family to come up with a creative cache cake. There is even a website about creative cache cakes.

Do you think it would be more fun to:
Bring the cake there and then everyone eat it – yummy! 😆 (there are fridges available)
or
Take a photo and have people judge them that way.

Any helpful suggestions or ideas appreciated. Remember it is our five year Cach Ba$h anniversary so that would be a fun detail to add that to it as well.

Could this be made into a Challenge as well? I am not quite sure how those work yet. 😀

For my dads (swamphog) birthday my aunt made a cake that looked like his GPS, I hid a cache just for him and the coords were on the screen of the cake! it was fun

Not that anyone would do this, but pictures could be “doctored” up.

Maybe the WGA could do a cake raffle/auction for all the cake submitted. It would be a way to raise a few dollars. Our FFA group does that every year. These cakes are in the shape of tractors, cows and other farm related themes. Most of them are no bigger than a 9×13 cookie sheet. Most of our cakes go in the range of $50 to $100 range.

I may be wrong, but I don’t think LDove is proposing this as a WGA function.

I think it would be way more fun if people actually brought their cakes. Count me in!

Team Black Cat is correct, this is may be an activity sponsored by the West Bend Chamber who runs the Cache Bash. Not the WGA. The WGA is a great part of our event and does many things for us including the pancake breakfast on Sunday.

This was another fun thing to add to the event.

I think, like a Mardi Gras King cake, that each cake has to have a micro baked into it… 😈

Just my twisted thoughts…

LOL! Now you men (and ladies), get out those cookbooks and get planning! I will be doing this and will provide a spot to store your cakes so start thinking of what you are going to make! I think hiding a FTF prize in a cake like a king cake is a hoot!! GO FOR IT! 😆
