Guest Sweet: Bear Cake for a Cub Scout

My son just earned his Bear Badge in Cub Scouts. We are so proud of him! He has wonderful Cub Scout leaders, and they organized a very nice Blue and Gold Banquet for the Cub Scouts. Sister Robinson, the wife of one of the leaders, made a really cute bear cake in honor of my son earning his bear badge. I'm so grateful to her and all of the scout leaders for making it a special night for my son.

Sister Robinson made a chocolate cake with delicious peanut butter frosting. Thank you, Sister Robinson!
