3 ATTENTION, LEADERS & MEMBERS! You will note on page one that the Cake Decorating Project is divided into three (3) levels, not years. Depending on the member s age and skill, it may sometimes be necessary for a 4-H er to spend more than one project year in a particular level. Leaders should make that decision based upon the knowledge of the member s ability.
