We included this event because it calls on creativity rather than athleticism--and because it's nice to have an excuse to eat cake.
WHAT YOU NEED:
One premade, unfrosted, 9-inch single layer cake for each family, a mound of white frosting, knives, various tubes of decorative frosting, sprinkles and small candies.
WHAT YOU DO:
Give each family a cake, a knife and some frosting. Put the decorative frostings and candies on a table within reach of all participants. Every team is given only 10 minutes to decorate its cake. The cakes will be judged after the games and then served as dessert for hungry olympians.
