This past Tuesday we had the Blue and Gold Banquet for the Cub Scouts. Jeff is the Cub Master and I'm the Cub Scout Committee Chairperson. I was given the task to serve dinner and dessert for 87 people. The problem was I had a budget of $70. The theme was American ABC's so I fixed an All-American dinner. I served hamburgers, hot dogs, baked beans, fruit, veggies and chips. Thanks to the parents, all of the side items were provided. My issue was, I needed a cake for the event. I knew I did not have enough money to buy a cake for the number of guests that would be attending. I called a friend of mine Tammy to get some advice. She does a really nice job on cakes so I felt that if anyone could help me, she could. She sent me to a website called Cakecentral.com were there are more ideas than I knew what to do with. I found the cake idea I liked and gave her a call. She told me what I needed and I started. I decided to make a cupcake cake to make it easier in passing the dessert out. I made 80 cupcakes and began the process of putting it together. When it was all done, I was so proud of myself. I was exhausted but very happy with the final product. Here is a picture of my cake making skills. I think I'm going to try to get a job on the cake show ACE of Cakes.
