Wow, how much fun this was. It was the week before Wade's 53rd birthday and I'd already planned to make this cake for him. We were in the studio when I heard the ad on the radio for the Dolly Parton Imagintion Library Great Cake Bake contest. It hit me like a ton of bricks! Make the Purple Lens camera cake for this contest! I asked him if he minded me giving him a cake about a week late if it meant we had the chance to donate to such a great fundraising event and gain a little .com exposure at the same time. The cake bake was on. I ran out of time during the week to make the cake in advance like I'd planned to so I ended up making it the night before and took 5 hours to make it. Honestly it was FUN!
