Eagle Treats

We made these treats for my son's Eagle Scout Court of Honor!  I was so excited when I found the idea, but they had used a cashew for the beak.  Since I am highly allergic to cashews I searched to find some other candy or something edible that would work.  I came up with caramels.  I cut them in thirds and formed them into a beak.  I thought they would stick to the melted chocolate that the marshmallows are covered in, but not so easy!  So, I made a slit in the marshmallow with a sharp knife and stuck it in there.  That worked great.  So, the rest is pretty self explanatory....Large marshmallow covered in melted white chocolate chips and then rolled in coconut.  Place on top of an oreo cookie (or any other cookie you like) and add beak.  Eyes are from black decorating gel.  Fun, and hopefully will add to the decorations at the court of honor!

Taco Cakes

This was another cake done by my cub scout boys! They made a big round cake and cut it in half. Those halves were sat on their end and frosted with the appropriate color. Then they sprinkled oreo cookie crumbs to resemble meat and added cut up red, white & green gum drops and rolled green gum drops (roll in sugar to prevent sticking) to resemble lettuce. They even added strings of orange frosting for 'cheese'. Then, the left over gum drops they cut up into 'salsa'. Very clever guys!

Rock Cake

This cake was made for my 7-year old son who is into rocks right now. I baked a chocolate cake in a glass bowl....

Then decorated with grey frosting. It is actually white with black gel coloring swirled in, but you can't tell in this picture. I let the chocolate cake show through a little for the look of the rock! Then, I crushed peanut butter oreos to make the rock look like it is in dirt and added candy rocks for the added touch. He was pleased!

Basketball Cake

Another Cub Scout Father-Son creation! This time they made an orange-flavored cake with orange-flavored frosting and black frosting lines. It was baked in two glass bowls and then put on top of each other! Good job, guys!

Cub Scouts

This was made by the boys for the cub scout cake contest. It is just cut into that shape and frosted to show the 75th anniversary logo.
