The Scout Dinner

Our ward has a fundraiser dinner every year for the scouts. Everybody brings a cake and then they get "auctioned" off. Really, they give you a number and when they call your number you get to come up and pick whichever cake you want, and then you can donate however much money you want to the scouting program.

I wasn't even going to go. Even though I'd been prepping my cub scouts for weeks. But we went. Here was the cake we made.

It's just a chocolate cake with white chocolate chips baked into the actual cake. In between the layers there is chocolate frosting and a layer of more white chocolate chips. Obviously the outside is frosted in chocolate frosting and then we filled every little spot we could with the remaining white chips, and almost an entire bag of regular chocolate chips. I put this in my garage for a while to let the frosting cool and harden. I have never had a more delicious smelling garage - although I think just smelling the air elevated my blood sugar levels. Wow. Derek later questioned whether such a cake would actually taste good but in my opinion, that is totally beside the point.

Anyway, I thought our cake was kind of cool, until we saw THIS one!

There were actually a ton of really awesome cakes, many of which I would have been delighted to take home. As it turns out, our number was called second out of about 45 so guess which cake my kids picked?

We are enjoying it.
