Message of the Day – A Cake

September 26, 2008 By: Cal Skinner Category: Cake, Colonial Cafe, Crystal Lake Kiwanis, Kiwanis, Linda Hunter, Message of the Day

This cake was at Colonial Cafe when I walked in for last Wednesday’s Crystal Lake Kiwanis Club meeting.

It was the meeting at which new officers were being sworn in.

Today and Saturday Kiwanis members will be handing out peanuts at their annual fund raiser various places in Crystal Lake.

The money collected goes to programs for kids.

Baker and decorator of the cake was the Salvation Army’s Linda Hunter.

At last Tuesday’s McHenry Marlin’s swim party at Knox Pool, a swim mom brought this splendid 2008-themed Olympics’ cake and cookies.

It looked so professional. most thought she had bought it from a bakery.

But, no.

She made and decorated it herself.
