Baking Thoughts

Don't forget that part of the upcoming Blue and Gold lunch is the Father/Son Cake Cook Off contest! Start thinking about your next creation!

I can't remember the exact rules, but this is what I think I remember from last year:

1. The primary/largest portion of the cake must be cake/brownie/cookie or other home-baked good. You may use a cake mix, or make one from scratch. The primary piece(s) of the cake must be homemade, not purchased.
2. All decorations or special effects on the cake must be edible.
   
3. Absolutely no female or family baking expert may help with the cake! The cake must be baked and decorated by the scout and his male helper (this may be a Father, Grandfather, other relative, family friend, neighbor or mentor… or even the scout by himself!). I think Mom's are allowed to hold the fire extinguisher.
   
4. The scout team must do all the shopping, preparation, baking and decorating by themselves.
5. EVERY SCOUT TEAM MUST ALSO CLEAN THE KITCHEN WHEN THEY’RE DONE!
