INSIDE the BOX
I am not much of a baker, but my birthday cakes get rave reviews. Did I mention I use boxed cake mix? I am not kidding. My secret to super moist cakes? Bake the cake in professional-grade 8″ rounds, cool part way and then wrap tightly and FREEZE before they are completely cool. Take them out to thaw 4 or 5 hours before icing. Yummy. This Call for Entries wants you to Mix it Up as well–art media, that is. I love mixed media…
*Editor’s Note: This post is not sponsored by Duncan Hines, but I do really love their cake mixes… and I am willing to let them sponsor this post if they really want. 🙂
Check out this Call for Entries from the Santa Cruz Art League in California for Mix it up, Mixed Media. The fees are a little high, but the juror is well-documented, and I love the encouragement to use odd materials. Could this be the right show for you?
