Tonight our church's youth group had a cake boss competition. (Shawn, my resident cake boss, was not a participant, but as Young Men's President, he gets credit for coming up with the activity and helping with the planning, set up and so on...) Each of the 6 classes had to design and create a cake. Here are the results.
First were the Deacons (the 12 and 13 year old boys.) This was Jonas' group. I was a little unsure of how they were going to pull off their plan, but for a bunch of 12/13 year old boys, I think they did a pretty good job. They built a ski resort. Mt. Deacon was the name of it.
It was complete with a lift, a lodge, and a parking lot. The skiers were sour patch kids on pretzel sticks. The snowboarders were on juicy fruit and in a half pipe of marshmallows. There were also trees and bears. (Jonas also pointed out a couple of bear maulings, but I don't know if you can see them in these photos. That's always bad business for a ski resort, anyway.)
Next were the Beehives (the 12 and 13 year old girls.) They built colorful legos. We didn't catch a photo of this before the blue lego suffered some structural failure.
Next are the Teachers (the 14 and 15 year old boys.) They built a replica of the Salt Lake Temple (complete with a little Angel Moroni - which was actually a gold spray painted policeman - awesome) and the golden plates.
What temple scene wouldn't be complete without a police chase as depicted above?
These cakes were made by the Mia Maids (the 14 and 15 year old girls.) They won the 3 Amigos Kiss Up award, since they were the faces of the bishopric and coincidentally (or not,) the judges of the contest.
See, here they are - judging.
(There were charred swedish fish all over the place after this.) This may be a sure fire way for Shawn to get released from his calling - allowing his priests to set off illegal fireworks in the cultural hall. (This is probably also what makes Shawn a good Young Men's President - he's really only 17 at heart. He probably, said, "Yeah, that's a good idea.")

This lovely little design was made by the Priests (the 16 and 17 year old boys.) It is Mount Vesuvius. It sure isn't pretty to look at, but as Shawn pointed out, erupting volcanos leave carnage and it's not supposed to be pretty.
It did have this redeeming quality, though. It actually erupts.

And this cake, made by the Laurels (the 16 and 17 year old girls) won the Best of Show and Martha Stewart awards - for obvious reasons.) A spaghetti dinner, with sauce and meatballs, corn on the cob with butter and a bowl of peas and carrots - all made with cake and candy.
This one really was pretty amazing. It looked very real - especially the peas and carrots.
If the success of an activity is judged on attendance, participation and mess, then I'd say this was a winner.
