Illustrated by
Matt Collins.
Donna Rae, who is "known for going a bit too far," tests out some wildly elaborate creations for Danville's Fourth of July cake-baking contest. Each cake is a bigger catastrophe than the last, but Donna Rae emerges undaunted. The illustrations for this funny tall tale feature an effective combination of slapstick and realism.
