Blue and Gold

The scouts in Xander's troop were asked to bake and decorate a cake in a western theme for the upcoming Blue and Gold Banquet. Considering I have zero baking skills I was a little nervous about Xander's assignment and we spend a lot of time talking about a western design that would be feasible for us to do and finally decided on a tombstone.

We were able to mix up a good gray color for the frosting and Xander frosted that cake all by himself.

X-Man apparently died in the infamous gunfight at the O.K. Corral in Tombstone, Arizona in 1881.

We had a great time at the Blue and Gold Banquet, Xander's first one.

Has anyone seen this villainous character? I could sure use the reward money!

After a dinner of sloppy joes, the scouts did some cute skits.

Savannah guessed the correct amount of "river gems" in this jar. Definitely tasty gems!

Xander's cake won "The Deadliest" award.
