Need Cake recipes...Please

I suggested a Cake Walk for my sons school summer fair.  No one had heard of the idea, but they would like one.  I am now in charge of running the cake walk and also making the majority of the sweets.  If you have any recipes for cupcakes, cakes and so forth I would love them.

Thank you and wish me luck

When do you need them by?

I did the same thing a few years ago for my son's school.  People hadn't heard of it either, and initially dismissed the idea.

Then I brought it up again and they decided to give it a go - it was a big hit!  AND, they're still incorporating it into the summer fayre!  Ha Ha!

I have tons of cake recipes.  Is there anything in particular that you like?

The school fair is in late June.  I need to be perpared.

There is one mother on the playground who think it is a "stupid american idea", she is such a gem All the others were really up for the idea.

Any sorts of  recipes, I would say easier ones.

Thanks for your help Ladies

She sounds like a gem!  Let me at her!!!

OK, what is a cake walk, I've got no idea!!!  (Did I grow up in America!? )

There are several cakes and goodies as prizes.  There is a large circle with numbers on the ground.  Children and adults go around the circle while music plays, when the music stops a number is drawn.  Whoever is on the number gets to pick out a cake.  I always had them at school fairs at school and they do at a school that my mom works at in the States.

Seriously, never heard of it before!  Weird!!!  Sounds very cool!  And loads of fun!

Not in the UK -- that's for damn sure!

There's whipping cream or double cream at the stores here.

it's a JELLO recipe -- you can't find REAL jello here either 

I made that cake for my late grandfather about 20 years ago for his birthday one year!  Only I did a "rainbow" version where you used different flavours of Jell-O.  Very pretty. 

I must be delirious, I read this topic as "Need cake....Please" and thought "You and me both girl" 

(sorry I am no help though, I can certainly come help eat them!)

I grew up in SW PA and I though I have heard the term, I had no idea what it was either. Thanks for the explanation! Sounds like a lot of fun!
