Jennifer says:

I know this is a couple of years ago, but considering that CT was expected to go to Hillary, we were SO thrilled to have pulled off one of the real upsets of the primary season!

Will also send a pic tomorrow of our cake in honor of his birthday but wanted to send this now!

Can’t wait to see the birthday cake, thanks for sharing!

Donna says:

My friend and I had an Obama party last week.  It was fun making it!

Very cool, Donna, thanks for sharing!

A couple of my friends referred me to Yes We Cake when they became
aware of the inauguration pie I created for my family’s inauguration
dinner on January 18:

It’s an apple-caramel pie with a streusel topping, from this recipe:

In accordance with the recipe, the letters are carved from leftover
pie crust.

Ha, I love it…Thanks so much, Andrew!

Sue says:

To celebrate the inauguration, and to use up a butternut squash I’ve had sitting around since the holidays, I decided to make an Obama pie.

It’s essentially a pumpkin pie, but made with squash instead.
I was inspired by Lindsay’s pie:

And also because we all know how much President Obama likes pie:

Haha, awesome!  Thanks for the beautiful pie and the great links, Sue!

Molly says:

This is the cake I baked and decorated for the inauguration party we had with some families in our neighborhood.  I enjoyed the challenge of figuring out how to accomplish the job.  The unveiling and slicing of the cake was a riveting moment! 

It’s amazing!  Thanks, Molly!

Joanne says:

I’m so excited to share my cake.  I made this for inauguration day (duh!).  After much begging I finally let my bf cut into it.

Haha, well it looks delicious!  Thanks so much Joanne.

Katie says:

Just because I was so thrilled to watch the inauguration, I had to go home and make cupcakes/cake (doesn’t everyone have that reaction?)! The KFO stands for “Knitters For Obama.”

They look great, Katie.  Thanks!

Yay!  You guys might remember Holly from a cake of hers that I posted here. Well, I’m very happy to report that her talent has not gone unnoticed, and a reader was able to order some cakes from her because of this site!  Yay free enterprise!  

How cute are they?!  

Holly says:

I’ve attached a few pictures here of the most recent cakes (same cakes, different shots). The itty bitty “Yes We Did” one was just some leftover 3” squares of cake. Couldn’t help myself. Even though it was 1 am, I HAD to decorate it. A naked cake can be a sad cake. It looked so under-dressed sitting next to the others.  Enjoy the photos and have a swell Inauguration Day! Can’t wait to see what folks send you.

Thanks so much Holly!  They look great!

Dana says:

As a working mom, I relied on Dunkin donuts and my son Max’s Obama action figure to make this cake for my coworkers!

So cute!  Thanks Dana!
