NC State Fair, part 2

Cake decorating...one of my many favorite "must see" exhibits at the fair.  Here's some of my personal favorites, though I don't think I saw any that weren't nicely decorated.

From the 4-H youth division...LOVE the creativity here! I've heard of 'possum cakes before, but never a porcupine!

One of my favorites...This cake is one of the two that looking at it makes you feel elegant!

And this is the other elegant cake.  While I know they probably used the machine fondant cutter, it's still a lot of detail and time on the lace and ribbons!

And I had to take this one for my family...you'd never know it was a cake!

Look at the details! Who from my generation doesn't love the Smurfs? Makes me want to sing La-la-la-la-la....

Gorgeous fall basket. The baby with the apples behind it seemed to mix too many themes for my taste.

Absolutely gorgeous...but how would you cut/eat it?

And for the pirate lover....fabulous! Lots of detail here!
So this wraps up the end of one building (which we thankfully walked through while it was raining outside)!
