Blue & Gold

Well tonight was the annual Blue & Gold dinner for cub scouts. Every year they boys are to work with their fathers to create a cake for dessert. This year's theme was the 100th birthday of BSA. Unfortunately Scott is traveling (usually every year at this time), so Garhett was stuck with me to work with on his cake. He definitely wasn't excited about that. Lucky for Garhett my parents were passing through town before heading on their next trip. So Grandpa was nice enough to step into dad's position and help Garhett with the cake. Here is the step by step process Grandpa and Garhett took in making his cake.

Step 1: The ingredients for the cake (chasing Emmett so no pictures)

Step 2: Mixing the cake (getting Emmett out of the oven, so again no pictures)

Step 3: Pouring the cake into the pans

Step 4: Putting the cake into the oven to bake (well actually taking it out after it was cooked)

Step 5: Cooling the cake

Step 6: creating the 100 out of the cake: I am so proud of Garhett for cutting the #1 out of the loaf pan free hand. He did an awesome job. The center of the zeros were made by turning a glass upside down and pushing it through the cakes. 

Step 7: Frosting the cakes

Step 8: Presenting his 100 cake at Blue & Gold - Great job Garhett!!!!
