We Need Cakes!

Donate Cakes to the Cakewalk!
The cakewalk is one of the carnival's most popular activities.
More than 200 cakes are given away each year as prizes.
Please drop off your homemade or purchased cakes in the school cafeteria
Friday, March 19, between 3:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.

Enter Mantua's Annual Carnival Theme Cake Decorating Contest!
Judging begins promptly at 7:30 p.m. Friday, March 19.
Drop off contest cakes in the cafeteria between 3:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
Please bring your cake on a disposable plate or container, preferably wrapped in clear plastic. Label the type of cake, e.g., yellow cake with chocolate frosting. Helpful hint: You can buy foil pans with plastic lids at Shoppers Food Warehouse or try the dollar store. Bake the cake, let the kids decorate, snap on the lid, and you're done!

Please note: Many of our students have food allergies.
If you're able to bring an ingredient list with each cake, it would be a big help.

  • All cakes must reflect this year's carnival theme, "Mantua Celebrates the Olympics"
