Chapter 15

Thursday evening, December 3rd

Muskingum County Convention Center

The two young women stood by, waiting as one cake after another came out of the box truck, onto the lift. Theirs was the next to the last to be unloaded. When they were called, they rode the lift back up to the open maw of the semi-trailer and walked toward the back.

That far in, it was hard to see if the sculpted cake had suffered any damage in the couple of miles it had been transported from the school to the convention center but Hannah held her breath until they hoisted it onto a rolling cart with the help of the driver and moved it out to the lift, in the light.

She inspected it over the 15 seconds it took to get from the front of the trailer, down to the loading dock on the slow-moving lift. Pristine. She let out a heavy breath then. “Now we just have to get it down that hallway and onto the display table, intact,” she said to Morgan who stood on the other side of it, inspecting it also.

When the lift gate stopped, both women took hold of the cart and started to roll it off the gate, onto the dock. The last team waiting helped them to balance it down the short ramp before jumping onto the lift themselves. “Do you want us to wait and help you get yours off?” Morgan asked them, a tremor in her own voice.

“No thanks,” Randy waved a hand toward the door. “You go ahead.”

They rolled their creation slowly down the long hallway to the tree display area where room had been made for the cakes in the area that had been filled with tables and chairs near the concessions a couple of weeks before.

Chef Tomas directed them toward one of the two empty stands then stood back as Sandy and her partner John moved over to help them lift it from the rolling rack to the display table.

“Wow,” Sandy said. “I’ve been watching you two in class but, up close, this is really something.”

“Thanks,” Hannah said, blushing. “Morgan did most of the carving.”

“And we both did the fondant and sugar work,” Morgan said.

“Hannah is always too modest,” Sandy said then smiled at her friend. “Now, let’s do this. On three?”

There were nods all around as the four bakers each took a side of the cake board.

“One, two, three!” Sandy called out.

They lifted the cake smoothly several inches up off the cart and transferred it to the slightly higher display table, covered in white linen cloths that just barely brushed the floor.

Once they had it turned just so, to be seen from the best angle by the public, the other duo went back to their own cake leaving Hannah and Morgan alone. They stood by quietly until the last cake entered the room and then they offered their own assistance to make the transfer from cart to table.

Chef Tomas walked up and down the line, smiling. “They look wonderful.
