Donating YT 14K Club Member | My $250 UGH OH! So last night was my daughter's school Spring Extravaganza. They did really well...between the raffle tickets, silent and live auction, they managed to raise $140,000.00! Well, they started the live auction off with cakes. I've never participated in a live auction before and thought I'd have a little fun. I never expected to win. I thought someone would outbid me and I'd walk away...nope...not this time. God must have known what I had in my pocket because what I brought ended up being what I paid! Now, my cake was the prettiest...and cheapest! The first cake went for over $500...the last cake (a chocolate with chocolate covered strawberries) went for $1,200!!! They even auctioned a 7 day, 6 night cruise (valued at $7,000) for $12,000!!! At least DH wasn't mad.

| I love auctions!!!! What a bid, but pretty cake..... My family always holds a "pie auction" (for ALLLLL the family members and friends) when someone is in need of financial help......They are FUN....course, we don't get into the hundreds per pie....but it is fun and we raise money for the ones in need. I remember one auction, my DH bid $50 for a home-made coconut cream pie but after the auction, he went to get it and someone had already taken it....the person in charge of that auction, needless to say, was never the one in charge again.....course, the $50 then just became a donation...and we went back to once you won it, it was handed to you! (works a lot better) I also remember once when my grandfather was alive, he would be outrageously and then whatever he won, he wouldn't take it, but put it back up there for more bidding. (awwwww...my grandpa)

Donating YT 14K Club Member | Well, the cake itself is pretty good. That white icing is like paste though... It practically pulls off in sheets! I showed the pictures to a lady at work and she said it was one of those expensive cakes. They use SOOO much of some special type of sugar to make the pretty white sheets and that alone probably cost $50.

| Hey Kimberly, next time I need money can I bake you a cake????? My jaw hit the floor when I saw what you guys raised! Wow! And we are always proud of our $10,000 that we raise by doing a Halloween River Walk for 4 nights in a row! You have some SERIOUS fund raising going on down there!
