The cakes were just in the middle of the room while everyone ate around the cake table and the talent show was gpoing on up front. Bassicaly you just ask the church to bring the best cake they make or two or three and then you just allow for people to sign up (silent auction kind of thing) with thier name and the amount they will be willing to pay for the cake...and the amounts get higher and higher throught the night... I also have seen the cake sale be a real auction in our conference and they made a ton of money. I think everyone wants to give money to the youth/conference UMM/UMW, etc... and this way they get to take home a cake and give! I am not sure how much the youth made from the cake auction I FUMC (I can ask Lisa the youth/associate pastor how much she got just from the cake auction...I know that the conference cake auction some cakes went for $400 - $500! Of course it was all going to a mission in Covington...but still very cool!<br/><br/>Blossom...sure just send me an email so I have yours and I can help you with anything you may need. the main thing I would do is just spend some quailty time was your options in the site and feel free to chak out the FAQ and help menu with the blogger search engine....That is really what has helpedme the most. and turn on word verfication because you will eventualy get lots of comment spam and this seems to fix the problem. Well take care!<br/><br/>of favorites stuff you have to go into your blog templete and find the text "enter link here" what ever it says on the blog page, and enter the website links and name there replacing the words.<br/><br/>And pictures the best thing for pictures is just download a program called Picassa and you can use a program called hello and any picture on your computer can be added to your blog. Email me with any questions.<br/><br/>Mark:<br/><br/>I sent Tiffany your email address so she could answer your question.

I'm working on figuring out this whole blogging thing--have even set one up to use with my church...but haven't yet figured out how to do some of the extra stuff that I see on yours and other people's blogs. Like--how do you add a "favorite sites" section and how do you do pictures? I'm a bit short on time to figure this out and hoped you could help me get a jump-start! Thanks, and blessings on you and Tiffany! Maybe we'll get o visit one of these days. <br/>Blossom Matthews (just to the north of you guys in the chilly state of Ohio!) Hi D.G.,

You're the second church I have heard about that does this. What is it for? I assume it's a fundraiser. And if so, how much does it bring in? And for how big of a group (youth group as well as church)? We are dealing with fundraising issues and always looking for new ideas. Thanks... So dude, tell me about the cake auction.

The snow looked really nice since we've had so little. I agree on your groom's cake--especially since your mom ate all the remains left from the wedding. That cake was absolutely the best cake I've ever tasted! It like me so well it stayed on as several pounds of fat--oh, well--it's "off to be better next time" song. I thought the church article was just great. So proud of your church and all the vision you have. lOVED ALL THE PICTURES! The snow looked really nice since we’ve had so little.
