Only two more to go! Two more blue and gold banquets to go to for
Easton and then I don't have anymore for the rest of my life! What an exciting time of life for us. Friday was
Easton's first blue and gold banquet as a Cub scout. Oh, the sloppy
joes and chips were fabulous and the skits were unusually funny. The awards ceremony went on without a hitch. But, I have to say the highlight of the evening was
Easton winning second place in the cake decorating contest. We always seem to do well in this event (history will show that
Dallin and Landon both took awards in previous contests) and really let the creativity flow. The theme was "America" so we chose to make a baseball hat cake--you know, baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and
Chevrolet.
Easton was thrilled with the event and had fun "helping" me design a cake. And I'll have you know that I didn't have a cake mix in the pantry and wasn't in the mood to go to the store so we actually made the cake from a recipe. It was way better than a box cake. Who knew? We weren't cake people growing up so we never ventured into that part of cooking. Actually, I'm still not a cake person.
Easton shows off his second place ribbon. First place was a cake with a mountain range made out of rice
krispies and other cute stuff.

So cute! The Carroll tradition lives on of awesome cake decorating. I have never made a cake from scratch...I guess I will have to try it. Good job, Easton!
ReplyDeleteI know,, what's wrong with us?? I've never made brownies or a cake from scratch. Good job Easton. I remember going to a blue gold dinner once when I was there visiting. It was Dallin's. and Easton was running around the floor, I think he was 2. Anyways, look at him now, all grown up. So fun Sheila. But don't you get just a little sad, thinking these chapters of your life are closing? I would be. It's all happening a little fast I think.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cubby baker!! Cute design and all that to eat. Wow
