    Hi Dave,


    AFAIK it will be a total surprise to him if he is picked.

    And it sounds like he is well deserving of the award. When will the
    winner be announced?

    Traditionally, right after Turkey Day (last week of November).

    Nice end of the year gift, and in time to make the annual holiday
    letter. (G)

    If he is selected he'll be the only one surprised.

    That's usually the case.

    Sprinkles are for kids and birthday celebrations..

    We've got a good number of kids in the church, also other folks that
    like sprinkles.

    I'll eat them if they're already there. But, I never use them as a "decoration". Althoough I have used dragees sometimes. The metallic
    balls of silver or gold colour which aren't edible. There is also an edible dragee which is *totally* different but could be used, also, as
    a decoration - and not have to be picked off lest one break a tooth.

    Dragee is a French word for a sugar-coated nut or a small
    silver-colored ball used as a decoration. A good start to the week -
    I've learned stuff I'd not kown before.

    That's always a good thing. I've never bought/used them for cake
    decorating, usually use just icing and sometimes some sprinkles.

    Gonna be some competition - a posthumous entry for Sam Montalbano has
    come in. He was a US army veteran, serving during the Korean War.Also
    he was a member of Little Flower Men's Club; Sangamon County Board;
    Teamsters #916, Boy Scout Troop #202; Breakfast for Friend-in-Deed;
    VFW 10302 and Sangamon County Inter Veterans Burial Detail.

    And never met a stranger. Bv)= He is missed by many.

    Whoever gets the award - it will be well deserved.

    Only non-edibles I ever put on cake have been plastic candlesticks
    for a birthday cake. Bv)=

    This ain't a birthday cake - but it's pretty good. And better yet - easy.
