Last evening (Friday 8/19) I attended a bluegrass festival at which Rhonda Vincent and the Rage were the headliners. I know a lady (a fellow baker) who is friends with Ms. Vincent and always makes cookies for her, and I asked this lady if I could make a cake for Ms. Vincent and her band, and was given the go-ahead. The cake was a single-layer strawberry pound cake, iced with vanilla buttercream and fondant, and decorated with strawberries, comme ça:



I met my baker friend (who had brought a cake of her own) at Ms. Vincent's bus, and handed over the goods. Here's a picture of yours truly (I'm the tall one) presenting the cake to Ms. Vincent.


You may notice my self-made watermelon shirt. Then again, you might not notice I'm in the picture at all.
