NJ Students Take the Cake!

Courtesy of Mrs. Vaccaro's Class, BF Gibbs School, New Milford

Each student was assigned one of the counties in New Jersey.  They received a template of the shape and had to bake and decorate a cake to resemble their county.  Mrs. Vaccaro assembled all of the counties in the shape of New Jersey and invited the students and their families to eat the cake while Celebrating NJ! 

Thank you New Jersey artists!

For your wonderful designs...
