Master Baker

Mr.FF makes cakes.

I think he likes to, but nonetheless, he makes them.

He makes them for friends, but also, for the son and dad cake baking extravaganza for his sons' cub scouts.

This year marks the 100 years of scouting, therefore the theme was obviously, 100 years of scouting. Duh.

His plan was to make a cub scout wearing on one half the uniform from 1910 and the other half to wear the uniform the boys wear now.

I giggled supported his BIG idea. I was very skeptical curious to see how he'd pull it off.

This past weekend he went to town on the cake. Not having my kids, I eagerly sat and watched helped.

He's impressive, no?

So is Mr.FF.

I was so busy watching helping that I didn't get many pictures of "the making of" that little cub scout, but here is the end result, minutes before it had to be RUSHED to the cub scout meeting.

This cake was baked Thursday night, worked on Friday night, worked on the good part of Saturday (until I made him quit and take me to dinner and the comedy club) and then worked on right up until it had to be presented on Sunday.

The perfectionist in him would say that it still needed tweaking, however, being the perfectionist that *I* am, I know that had he had anymore time he still wouldn't have been 100% happy with it.

Besides, I think that cake looked pretty damn awesome as it was!

Let me also add, that it tasted mighty fine.

  6. I am so impressed!!! What a creative idea to do the two different uniforms. And the cake looks so tasty.

    I just helped my nephew with a cake. He picked a bear, so we baked a bear in my *fancy* 3D bear pan that you have to bake with the bear on its head. When I pulled that bad boy out of the oven, it looked like it had defied gravity and pooped down the front of his stomach. I don't know if I can ever eat chocolate cake again. Nah.
