Any good cake makers out there?

This month is my son's cub scout's "Father Son Bake Sale".

FAther and son are to bake a cake, decorate it, and then it get's auctioned off at the big pack meeting as a fundraiser.

As with *most* of the father son teams....they've never baked a thing! (This is why it is funny and popular)

 

Anyone have easy cake ideas that won't take much prompting from "mom" in the background. My son is 6.....and FI can make Ramen noodles and eggs. That's about it.......

    Id say easiest would be to buy a cake mix and the decorating gels from the store with different colors and tips.

    So are you looking for a recipe for a cake made from scratch? Or just decorating ideas? I actually make wedding cakes, etc. If you're looking for decorating ideas, I have made 2 father's day cakes that I think would be appropriate:

    Fishing Cake

    Golf Cake

    And here's just my cake tag from my blog if you're interested.

    If you want a good recipe, I suggest Hershey's "perfectly chocolate" chocolate cake. It's easy and always comes out good!

    Decorating ideas are OK. There is a theme *IF* they want to use it. The theme is "faith". But I don't think a cross and a wiccan pentogram on one cake is gonna fly...

    AS far as cakes. I was hoping for an easy one from scratch....but boxed is cool too. Trying to get yummy/creative as they can get for two amateurs!

    I have an awesome one at home called "Happy Birthday Cake", it's a white cake, that's so easy to make.  I will try my best to remember to PM you the recipe tonight, or I can post it on here if anyone else would like it.  You add 1/2 the ingrediants, mix it for 2 min, then add the rest and mix it for antoher 2 and it's done.

    "Happy Birthday Cake"

    • 1 2/3 C Sugar
    • 2/3 C Vegetable Oil
    • 1tsp Salt
    • 2 C Flour
    • 3 1/2 Tbsp Baking Powder
    • 3/4 C Milk

    Mix above ingredients for 2 minutes

    Add:

    • 1/2 C Milk
    • 1tsp Vanilla
    • 3 Eggs

    Beat for an additional 2 minutes

    Bake in a greased 9X13 pan at 350 for 35-45.  It might take longer because it is a very wet cake.  Make sure to 'test' it with a toothpick in the middle to make sure it's done.  The cake tastes awesome, I can eat it just out of the oven with no icing!
