Bundt Cake Winners!

About a month ago I shared a story about a mysterious package that came to the house. No, I still haven't thrown the bundt cake away. Yes, I plan on soaking it in resin and keeping it forever.

Since this seemed like such an incredible occurrence, rife with creative possibilities, I put out a challenge to my readers: see how a bundt cake might act as your muse.

I was surprised, actually, to see how many entries came in! So this week I got the whole family together and we picked the top two winners. It wasn't easy, believe me!

The from Lisa Lamothe Mackin of Boston Baked Beads:

Mystery arrival - a moveable feast,
Who's it from asked the family - a priest?
A friend or a foe?
Don't eat it Joe,
Cause you might just end up deceased!

Congratulations, Lisa! You are now the proud owner of a signed copy of Bugle Bead Bonanza by the fabulous Jamie Cloud Eakin.


The next winner is Jeannie Dukic of Jewelry by Jeannie, who not only wrote this little poem...

Mystery of the Unsolved Bundt Cake
We all meet, and sit to eat the bundt cake.
We cut, chisel, pry and what to our surprise is a fruit cake baked inside.
Attached is a note: To avoid the Christmas rush I sent this early, so keep it hush, hush.
On Christmas day you will know who sent this cake your way.

...but also created some wonderful polymer clay visuals to go along with it! (I love the idea of working your pipes with fruitcakes instead of barbells!)

Thanks for the great effort, Jeannie! You are now the proud owner of a signed copy of Creative Native American Beading by Theresa Flores Geary.

Thanks to everyone who participated!
