Hi camp families!
I cannot believe how quickly the summer went by and that I’m back here blogging once again! Post Camp has been rainy and cold the last few days, very appropriate for the gloomy feeling of missing you all. The only upside is that there are still some great staff members here, and we’ve been having a lot of fun hanging out once the day’s work is done.
Yesterday was Brian Krug’s birthday! On Thursday night I got a group of friends together (Karen, Kaelah, Levi, and Lauren) and we decided to make an “Ace of Cakes” style cake for Brian’s birthday extravaganza! We planned to meet around 7pm in the bakery part of the kitchen, and I printed off a picture of our cake “inspiration”.
At one point during our cake construction, Brian was headed towards the dining hall to get some ice from the freezer! Eric and Matt called me on the kitchen phone just in time for us to shut all the lights off and hide in the kitchen! It was a close call, but Brian came and went and never caught us!
Here are some pictures of our Ace of Cakes night:
Karen and Kaelah make chocolate icing...
Lauren Berry wonders how to make Blue icing...
Making colored icing is hard work!
Karen spreads icing to hold the layers together.
Kaelah and I get ready to build the cabins...
Lauren's recipe for Blue icing: Yellow+Green... wait...!
I place the cabins on very carefully!
With our finished product!
Camp Brian
Pretty cool, huh?! We were pretty proud of our work, and Brian was really surprised! I think the coolest part of the cake was when we actually lit the little rope above the campfire to be the birthday candle! The rope broke and we all cheered! Hahaha, only at Camp…
…so I hope everyone is wishing for the next 300 days to fly by so we can be together again, I know I am. I’ll keep you all updated as new and exciting things happen here at Canadensis!
