Tomorrow is my son's Blue and Gold Awards Ceremony for Scouts. I had to make a cake Blue and Gold themed or Mad Scientist, so I did a combination of both...
The Golden sand with Blue Ocean.... along with a working volcano ( Dry ice and water in a foil tube )IMG_3334b.jpg
 
These are auctioned off to highest bidder, The funds go towards the Scouts to pay for future camp and outings. We also get awards for best cake, highest bid and so on. Momma is responsible for our Den's center piece on the table where we sit ( she is doing Mad Scientist Themed ) so she is gathering electronic parts and wires to make a cool thing-a-ma-jigger to decorate our table.
We finally got her daughter and my daughter coming to a gathering, it will be the first time both Grand Babies will be seen together ( just 2 days apart in age ) They will be 5 month old in a few days.
 
I noticed you had the cake in a foil pan. I know now the idea has been around for a very long time but I got the job of carrying some food in container that was two foil pans doubled up for the first time for me a few weeks ago. It made more difference than I thought it would before doing it. IF this is new to you, you might want to try that when moving it.
 
Testing the "Hot Lava pit" has a bright red LED in a foil tube with dry ice..... and everyone thinks Im Crazy...lol

Well, Turkey pans now come with wire carry racks built in...lol
Yeah this was flimsy but whoever wins the bid taked whatever its on so I got a cheap pan.... This is my engineering to carry it.
even a spacer so it doesnt slide around

Very good fit. The winning bidder should really appreciate that if you let them have the box.
 
I hope no one gets hurt. Blue and Gold were my HS colors.

I was going to say you probably had planned to take it in a box rather than carry it in the foil pan. That's what I would do.

Right to get it from home to where the event is. But, it would not be very visible if left in the box. So . . . you need to get it from the box to the display and then back in the box for whoever wins the bid.
 
There was no issue removing or replacing the cake, the divider ( actually a hidden compartment for bottled water and dry ice )
Just pop it out with little openings I cut in, scoot cake over and lift out.

What really burned my azz tonight is, someone took the box, pulled out the divider, stole the dry ice ( left the ziplock bags and paper bad it was in ) just dumped everything on the table and stole the box... so Im going to have words with the den leaders about their families ( they aint gonna like it but the snowflakes will get my point real quick ) for one everyone brought their cakes in their own boxes, so why steal mine? (by the way my ex won my cake as the highest bidder)

Now the other issues is the disrespectful kids, We had this Ceremony at a High Class Reception Hall ( Royal Orleans ) and within the first half hour I went to the restroom and someone pissed all over the walls, toilet, floor in one stall, about 1/2 roll of one of those industrial strength "John Wayne" toilet paper wadded up and thrown everywhere and soaked in pee on the floor... Ive about had it with some of these bratty azz kids in other Dens.

Ill let you know how that goes...

and lastly, my son sold over $400 in popcorn sales, he didnt get his patch, nor did he get any of his past prizes from the last several awards and prizes he earned... They should have been handed out immediately after earning them and been close to a year now so im pissed.

Gonna be an interesting email tonight.
 
I'm sorry that things turned out so badly for you and your son. :(

No it was good, just a few things that needs addressing to prevent future issues.
I sent an email and let the Head Honchos know about the bathroom, that they needed to inform the Den Leaders as well as the parents of the scouts to prevent anything in the future like places not allowing the Scouts to rent or reserve Halls. I know if I was the owner Id be pissed about this, the mess and waste.
On another note, the Parents should be ashamed of their child doing this.
