"Ducks on a Pond" by Teri, fiona and Norah Morgan got the nod as Most Creative cake

The annual Cake Walk at Davidson Town Day on the Village Green is all about the cakes.  For one dollar, contestants march to music in a circle on numbered fabric squares. When the music stops, a number is drawn, and the person on that square gets to pick a cake. But the real competition may be among those who create the cakes for the Davidson Elementary School fundraiser.

Residents and school supporters bake or donate store-bought cakes and there’s a competition among local cake bakers to create a confection that cake-walkers covet.  There’s no greater triumph than to have your cake be one of the first selected.

This year, organizers also judged the cakes that were submitted in advance of the Cake Walk. We’re pleased to bring the names of the winners and photos of their creations.
