We have done something similar. We stuck each cake to the wall then used Velcro tabs to stick the names to each cake so that they can be removed if necessary. Sorry for the horrible photo.
I just wanted to tell you that this addition of "This day in History" is phenomenal!!!! I've been looking for something like this, and to have it all done, makes my job so much easier! I love your website and my seniors enjoy all of the great activities! THANK YOU!!
