Remember how I mentioned I was going to a party on Tuesday and I’d write more about it later? Welcome to later!
The party was for a group, called Circle of Friends, that pairs children with special needs with a buddy and plans fun events. This past Tuesday’s event was a karaoke and dance party. Since I didn’t ask permission to post most of the kids’ pictures, you don’t get to see the huge smiles on their faces… but believe me, everyone had a terrific time.
I didn’t show up empty-handed. (Do I ever go to a party empty-handed?) The yellow sheet cake I baked and decorated was gone almost before I set it down on the table!
Here’s a pic of me, with my favorite friend 🙂

That sounds like such a great way to spend a Tuesday evening! Karaoke+kids+cake=great party. Anyway, I was wondering what recipe you use for your frosting–not only is it strikingly blue, but it looks like the perfect consistency for decorating! You are such a pro!
Romina says
Aww that cake is so cute!
Billy says
That’s really cool that you volunteer there.
The cake looks great!
ChocolateCoveredVegan says
Thanks Brian, I’ll check it out.
Ruby Red Vegan says
That cake is AMAZING! I dare say it is your best decorating feat yet…
And please tell me that you sang your heart out at karaoke!
Ruby Red Vegan says
P.S. I like the part where you wrote, “Welcome to later!”
Jenny says
You decorate the cutest cakes!! I am sure it was much appreciated.

Wow, what fun! It that glitter icing on the globe?!
freepersonaltrainer says
That cake is so cute! I can’t frost for anything, let alone draw people on it.
Thats an admirable thing you do. Im sure you mean a lot to those kids.
Ricki says
What a wonderful way to spend your morning. I’m sure it makes a huge difference to them. And your cake is absolutely adorable!
Rach-ums says
I bet the kids just love you! It sounds like an awesome organization.
amy says
wow…you have a super lovely smile! and, what a sweet cake! i have to say, i am really jealous that you decided to be vegan at such a young age, i wish i’d been that aware when i was 14. you rock.
kindkitchen says
Oh, you are SO awesome. I love people with bug hearts <3
kindkitchen says
oh my goodness. “bug”=big hehe
Leng says
That is so sweet of you to bake for them. I LOVE the groups name, “circle of friends.”
That’s great that you’re getting involved with special needs kids. They tend to be neglected by many.
Kids in general need good role models and someone OUTSIDE of their normal lives to mingle with.
They must have been really happy and appreciative. I sort of already am. LOL.
weirdo—>me 😀

You are so adorable! You just seem like such a kind person and that cake is great! Also, it’s nice to see someone my age who looks really young – I’m 22 and I’m always mistaken for a 16 year old!! Do you ever get that?
Emma says
That is such a nicely decorated cale- no wonder it got eaten so quickly! I bet it was just as tasty as it is pretty!
carrie says
Your cake is so cute, I see a vegan bakery in your future!!

That is such a pretty cake! How did you draw so well with icing?? We have a program in at my school (McGill) similar to yours. Ours is called “Best Buddies”. Cant wait to see your next post…
Take Care!

Bianca says
You are just precious! And so is that cake. I bet those kids were thrilled. I know I would have been if someone set a cute cake like that in front of me!

That cake looks great – no wonder it disappeared so quickly! And good for you – Circle of Friends sounds an amazing cause, though how you find time to volunteer, study AND bake such amazing stuff is beyond me!!

Hi! I’m about 5’5″ too! That’s about 167cm, or 1.67m right? We go by metric, no offence but my physics teacher cracked a joke about Americans being one of the few people who don’t use SI units for measurement. (:
Which recipe is the yellow sheet cake?
