The Squires Bake Their First Cake!

Yep, you read that correctly. They baked their first cake. They were supervised by Daughter of the King, but they were unassisted. The results we absolutely DELISH and BEAUTIFUL to behold.

The youth Sunday School classes had a little competition. I can't remember all the categories, but two of them were best tasting and best presentation.


G.I. Joe decided to bake a chocolate chip chocolate glazed bunt cake.



He used fresh strawberries to help decorate the cake. He drizzled chocolate glaze over the bunt cake and....



... the strawberries. The end result was....



... BEAUTIFUL! He won second place for the best dessert presentation. People were quite surprised. They all know that our Fair Maidens have great cooking/baking skills and wondered if he had any help. But they also know that the dwellers of the Castello are not cheaters. ;o) WAY TO GO G.I. JOE!!!



The Warrior baked a lemon delight cake. He grated the lemon and orange.



Mixed it with drained mandarins and cool whip. YUM!!!



Poured the mixture over the pineapple cake....



... and coated the cake with the frosting. Let me tell you... it was DELICIOUS!!! All were amazed that a 12 yr. did such a great job. What can I say, he takes after his dad, his sisters and his brother! WAY TO GO WARRIOR!!!
