Cub Scout Blue & Gold Banquet

This months Pack Meeting was the Annual Blue & Gold Banquet. Thursday night Jake and Aaron had so much fun decorating their cakes. This years theme was American ABC's, so Jake decided to make his cake look like the state of Michigan and Aaron decided to make the American flag. Before the kids went to school Thursday morning, they mixed up their cake mixes, put them in a pan and started baking them. I had to take them out and flip them out of the pan. When they got home from school and after dinner, I mixed up some frosting for them and then let them have at it. I was amazed how well they did. If I'm not careful I might lose my job as the family birthday cake decorator. =)

Friday was the big event. Matt says it was a huge success. It was hard for me to say since I was in charge or it and felt like I was running around with my head cut off. I guess that is to be expected at this type of Pack Meeting. We had a turkey dinner with all the fixing. I think the cakes that all the boys brought were a huge success. This year we even invited the 11-yr. old scouts back to help serve the food, judge the cakes and award the boys their cake certificates. All I can say now is, I'm glad it's over!
