VIDEO: Frosting flies at Gateway Mall

May 11, 2013 | 3:52 PM

It was a messy scene at Gateway Mall on Saturday afternoon as about 16 women dove into 32 square feet of cake to win a diamond ring at the 8th annual MIX 101 Cake Dive.

The ring, worth $2,000, was provided by Paris Jewellers and the cake was provided by Bakeology.

It took about two minutes for Sharon Johnson to grab the grand prize, “I just picked a spot, stuck with it and kept on digging and digging,” she said.

She said the ring was beautiful and that it was “an awesome Mother’s Day gift.”
