Eat Mo' Cake...The History of Victory Cake

The Legend of The Victory Cake....

Back in beginning of the 80's when Ric Hall came back to ECHS as the Head Football

Coach, his wife, "Miss" Kaye, would make Victory Cake the following Monday after every win.

As the years have passed, Victory Cake has become Strawberry Victory Cake.

You can't imagine what a big deal a piece of cake is to a football team! The above picture is our new "Eat Mo Cake" shirt. It started somewhat as a joke. The coaches had these printed to

wear to practice one day, but when the shirts came in before a Friday pep rally, they decided to

show up at the pep rally sporting their new shirts! Grown men, especially coaches, wearing

shirts with hot pink writing, WILL get some attention. The rest is history, we gave in and

started taking orders for the shirt, and Mo' Cake shirt sales are still going strong!

Nothing but some cake mix, "store bought" icing and pie filling...guarantees a smile!

We make 4 pans of cake, approximately 120 pieces of cake for 60 boys, and it's
gone in a matter of minutes! The first two in the oven...

Last two in the holding pattern ;-)

All four left to cool....

Iced and ready to go...

On the picnic table ready to go...Just waiting for the boys

to come off the practice field...

"Miss" Kaye and I often discuss how past players will still ask if we're making that Victory Cake

when we see them. It's no special, secret recipe, or grand gesture...It's just a little something

that says "thank you for your hard work, we're here, we're proud of you and we support you"!

Just further proof that it's the little things that mean so much.

To all the fans and mamas that have made cake, THANKS! We're making a difference! Go Cats!
