The Dad and Lad Cake

Jacob and Kelly made their Dad and Lad cake for the annual Blue and Gold Banquet. The cake has to be made by the male population only. No mom help allowed. (I did buy the groceries and give my opinion, but the rest was up to them.) Jacob decided on a basketball theme, because the scouts had attended the Harlem Globetrotters back in November. Jacob made the cake, so when Kelly got home they could focus on decorating. The icing started at 8 p.m. The cake was iced with butter cream icing, but the jersey and stars were cut out of store bought fondant. They used a sparkle dusting powder on the fondant to give it the red and blue color. Jacob gave up at 10:30 and went to bed and Kelly finally finished up close to midnight. They didn't win a prize, but I think they had the best cake there!!

Kyle did not want to go to bed. I guess he did not want to miss any thing!
