Father and Son (and Daughter) Cake Baking Contest - 2011

Last night was the 2011 Blue and Gold Banquet for our Cub Scout pack. It was a lot of fun and a lot of work to pull together, but our Cubmaster did the lion's share of the work. She deserves a lot of credit. Thankfully my wife reminded me to get her a small gift to thank our Cubmaster at the end of the ceremony. It was just a small gift but at least we were able to publicly thank her for her efforts.

Here are the kids' cakes they baked for the cake baking contest. They did most of the work this year and I think they did a great job. Ian's (above) is obviously our American flag and Cami's (below) is a husky dog. I think Ian was smart for simplifying his flag and not trying to make it have the accurate number of stars and stripes.

Ian won "The Most Patriotic" cake award and Cami won the "Man's Best Friend" award. They were happy with their cakes, but both were a little bummed that their cakes were not devoured by the attendees of the dinner. But, as I told them, there were a lot of cakes and most of them were only about 25% eaten.

The Bishops of our two wards did the judging, which was much appreciated by everyone. It was a great time and I think everyone was happy. Now it's on to the Pinewood Derby next month. The boys received their car kits last night! Hopefully their dads will let them get a chance of at least helping to make their cars.
