Blue and Gold 2012

Oh...it's that time of year again. Blue and Gold was in February and once again that means make a cake. Thank goodness the boys decided to do the cake together instead of individual ones. The theme was Bravery and we tossed around some ideas then they really wanted to do a Mario Bros. Cake. Whatever - I let them take the lead. They drew out the cake decided frosting colors and candy materials to use and what they wanted on it.

I encouraged them to draw the characters and put them in the cake instead of relying on mom to pipe them - that wasn't happening.

Darin was with me when we bought the candy for it and came up with the brilliant idea of using gold chocolate coins for the real coins. Always thinking that kid.

Rees and Luke were happy with it, and lets face it they really just wanted to eat it.

Here were some other cakes...they got Most Humorous.
We had a hot dog and milkshake dinner and during the program there was a fire in the kitchen that resulted in breaking the glass to get the fire extinguisher out and then the fire alarm going off. We evacuated and keep going until we were ready to go back in. It was very exciting!! Luke & Rees leaned back and even saw the fire. Darin was excited that it wasn't a fire drill...it was real! :)

Now Jared can't wait to make 2 pine wood derby cars for next months pack meeting!!
