Cake Bake

See Cake Bake Pictures

IMPORTANT:

Scouts usually have a cooking requirement to fulfill at all scout levels, so check out your scout book.

Please, the point of this exercise (as with the Pinewood Derby) is to teach the scouts 3 things:

1. New skills (baking, decorating)
2. Working together - the scout and adult should bake the cake together (as much as possible, especially for the younger scouts). It's about learning, not perfection :O)
3. Sportsmanship! - the scout needs to be a good sport whether he wins or loses. Please prepare your scout by stressing this point. We just want everyone to have fun :O)

Rules:

1. Cakes should be delivered to the social level no later than 15 minutes before meeting time. The judging will be done at this time.
2. Cake & icing mixes may be used. The cake should be a minimum of two layers.
3. The entire creation must be edible, including all decorations, to be eligible to win a prize.
4. Please come up with a title (“The Rocket”, “Enjoying Nature”, etc.) & include it on a small card attached to the cake plate. Cakes will be numbered for judging – do not write your name on your card.
5. The Scouts will vote for the best cake in each category, as well as their overall favorite cake which will be awarded “Scouts Choice”.
6. Prizes will be awarded in each category.
7. Most importantly: Cakes MUST be homemade; no purchased cakes can be entered.

Categories:

1. Animals/Nature
2. Duty to God (Church/Charity/Helping others)
3. Scouting (Camping/Pinewood Derby)
4. Patriotic

Scouts can choose their own category. We realize some cakes might fit into different categories. When your cake is delivered you can select what category your cake will be judged as. For example, if you make a cake with an Eagle you can decide if this is a “Patriotic” Eagle, Eagle “Scout” Eagle, or “Animal” Eagle.
