Artistic License used here...

As many of you probably know, I work for a sleepover camp during the bulk of the year. Using the word "work" loosely, of course. ( Is decorating cakes in your boss's kitchen, considered work? Eh, lets say yes, just for the fun of it.) Anyhow, my work that I do is very theoretical- I just see a bunch of names, and information, without the full picture. The fun part is when I do get to see the full picture....we just had the honor of spending the weekend in Camp Raninu. Its so weird seeing all those names come to life! Of course, as usual, I do not show up empty handed. So here is what we brought when we came: 
(Very loosely based upon an aerial view of Camp Raninu)

(For full size pictures, click on collage above)
So anyone who went to Camp Raninu recognized anything?

    I love the trees on the side of the cake. They are perfect. I bet the campers were so excited.

    I was a camper in Camp Raninu (Tof) and I do not remeber this cake being presented to the camp? Either way, it's amazing! You really replicated Camp Raninu!
