The Stadium Cake

Will's godmother, Jen, and her family raise money every year for a scholarship fund by constructing the most amazing cake in the shape of the Ohio State Stadium. Jen is usually tasked with painting the tiny little football uniforms on the tiny little football players. Amazing! They display the cake before one of the games, then slice it and pass it out for donations after the game. We try to make it down to the Horseshoe every year to support Jen... and get some cake.
It's difficult to read the sign, but it says "Ingredients: 87 cake mixes, 1 1/2 gallons vegetable oil, 261 eggs, 1 1/2 gallons milk. 106 pounds powdered sugar, 29 pounds shortening, 22 ounces vanilla, 183 man hours"Jen and Will check out the cake.The Stadium Cake is filmed for the news
Jen and Will solicit donations.

The cake really was quite yummy. As soon as the game ended, hungry Buckeyes swarmed to the tent to trade their pocket change for an after-game treat and a good cause.
