They asked each scout family to make a cake for the Blue and Gold. The theme was Knights of the Round Table. I only make 2 cakes, ugly and ice cream. But in the interest of trying to do the right thing with my boys, we attempted to make a cake we found on Pinterest. After spending $17 on cake supplies, this is how ours turned out:
Although, not quite the same or as nice, the boys were thrilled and they thought we would win first prize. I told them that prizes don't matter, what's important is we had fun doing it together. I knew we wouldn't be taking home any great awards. We did walk away with the award for "Would Do Most Damage to My Waistline." There were lots of goofy awards like that one.
I must admit that the entire time I was making it with them, I kept repeating over and over in my head how much I hate doing crafty things like cake decorating. But I did enjoy how excited they were about actually attempting to make a themed cake. So it was all worth it. Plus they got lots of compliments on it at the banquet. I think it was definitely the most "chocolatey" cake there.
