Last Saturday, UP students sent the frosting flying with the Pilots After Dark Cake Boss event. The night was based on the popular reality television show, Cake Boss, which features a New Jersey bakery known for its outrageous cakes. The eight teams were given one hour to decorate the pre-baked cakes with bananas, frosting, food coloring and sprinkles. When time was up, students were judged on creativity, clarity of theme, use of resources, effort and cleanliness of space. The top three teams won prizes. But the best award? Cake for dessert!
