This year the desserts for the Blue and Gold Banquet were made by the dads and scouts. This is proof that Wendell and Tyler did their cake without any help. I took the picture and then left to go to the church---partly because I didn't want to see what our house would look like after and then partly because they didn't want my help.
They made it to the church with their final product. I think they did a great job. In fact one Mom actually asked if I helped because it looked so good. I guess Wendell and Tyler have careers in cake decorating ahead of them. My favorite is that the cake wouldn't come out of the pan so they just worked around it. They started out making an ice cream cone and ended with this hot air balloon---definitely creative.
Here are some of the other creations from the scouts and Dads.
The Bear den was in charge of skits for the evening. Thank heavens for the internet. There are a ton of really easy ideas for wild scouts to do. Tyler even talked in the microphone and all the boys participated.
Tyler and the other scout in the picture got their bear badges last fall. Now the challenge is to get them awards at each pack meeting. This time they earned their Chess belt loops. When the cub master asked what they did to earn them, Tyler said, "We just played Chess." I guess it's as easy as that.
Our ward had its first ever uniform inspection. This is Tyler with all the offical gear on. It was funny to watch the scouts at the inspection and then as soon as it was done, shirts came untucked or off and kerchiefs were thrown to the side. Maybe that is why we don't do inspections very often.
The highlight of the night was a pinata after dinner. Emily was one of the first to hit and had to wear a blindfold. After 15 kids had hit and a dent hadn't been made, the older kids got to swing without the blindfold. Emily told me later that that wasn't fair. I guess going last sometimes does have its advantages.
Tyler took his swings at the pinata.
Megan really knows how to hit a pinata. It took a couple of adults to finally hit and get all the candy out. Our Webelos leader knows how to make a mean pinata. It was a fun night with Tyler. The girls even like going to this banquet every year.

I'm very impressed with Tyler and Wendell's cake too! I would never have known it was supposed to be an ice cream cone if you hadn't said so. It looked great as a hot air balloon! Maybe they should be on the next 'Cake Boss'...but they'd have to work on getting the cake out of the pan for that show!
