Blue & Gold Fiesta!

A few weeks ago was Brayden's Blue and Gold banquet once again. The theme this year was "Mexican Fiesta with a Positive Attitude." He really wanted to make his cake look like a taco for the "fiesta", but I thought that would be a bit too much work, and not really sure if it would turn out so well. So we compromised on a cake to look like a tostada. And thanks to Google, I found some ideas to make his cake possible.

First thing we did was make a yellow cake and put some chocolate sprinkles in the batter so it would look more "corn tortilla" like.  We used colored frosting for the refried beans, sour cream, and guacamole. The "meat" was Cocoa Krispies. The "Cheese" were orange and yellow Starbursts that we rolled flat and cut into "shreds" of cheese.

We cut up licorice for "tomatoes" and green Fruit Roll ups made the "lettuce". 

Brayden was really happy with the final product. 

He still loves everything he gets to do for Cub Scouts. He has so much fun with it!
