Yesterday was our wards annual Scout spaghetti dinner and cake auction. I have always loved this activity. It amazes me the amount of cash-money people will spend on a cake. This year, with our new hobby, we decided to make a cake for the auction. We had a hard time deciding what to make. We had wanted to do a Yankee cake or a Ute cake that after you cut into it was completely BYU or just a BYU cake. But we didn't want it to only appeal to a group of people. We decided it to be a good idea to make a cake everyone would like. So we decided to make the Oquirrh Mountain Temple.
The Temple is much more complex than one would think. After looking at it and taking a million pictures of it we decided to simplify it so that it could be made into a cake.
It proved to be one of our most difficult cakes yet. However, we have only made about 5 cakes, so that doesn't say much.
It sold for a mere $45. It does actually taste good. I hope they enjoy our masterpiece. 
It only took about 3 days or 14 hours. It was fun. Not sure I'll make a cool cake next year. The ones that sound or look the most delish went for the most cash-money. We'll see when it gets here.
On another note, Peyton LOVES shoes. She is definitely just like her sister and takes after her mommy. However, she is a little confused as to where they go.
She loves to wear them on her hands and crawl around the house with everyone's shoes on. She also is very good at putting flip-flops on. She puts them in between her fingers and everything. Smart little girl.

The cake looks awesome! Don't worry about the fact it went for $45, it is not the amount- but the fact that you participated that counts.
P.S. I think that Peyton looked best in my heels on Sunday!
That is such a cool cake, I'm surprised yours didn't sell for more than anyone else's. It's so cool!
Too cute about Peyton, I remember Will use to always put on his dad's shoes and try to walk around in them, it was hilarious.
That cake is so great! Maybe the rumor got around that you don't eat your cakes because it looks amazing! I can't believe you were able to do it with the week you've had! You rock!
So sad we missed the dinner this year. I would have loved to see your cake in person. You guys did a great job!
Just so you know, I couldn't believe that MASTERPIECE went so low. IT was so obviously the best cake there. I really think what happened to everyone else is what happened to us....we decided your temple cake was our first choice...but figured we would NEVER be able to afford it....so we settled and bid on our second, third, or forth choice cakes. And then your cake came along and everyone already had their average little cakes, (well, at least I did.) I was super impressed. It was awesome! Like Ryan said, I wanted it for my mantle, above the fireplace.
I just want to say that I'm not worried about how much it went for. I just think it was a steal on their part. I'm just glad we could help with.
Way awesome cake guys, I'm so sorry I missed out on the auction this year! Although maybe I was afraid to show my face after last years Utah cake hidden in a BYU cake! My family was so impressed with the temple cake, they sent me pics on my cell! Keep up the good work!
