THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, MARCH 19, 2009. PAGE 15.
By Makayla Tyerman
The fifth meeting of the Grey 4-H
Snickerdoodles was held at Tracey
Swart’s. The meeting began with the
4-H pledge.
The leaders said the members
would be making cakes. One group
made an angel food cake from a box,
the next group made a chocolate
chiffon cake from scratch, and the
third group made a butter cake, also
from scratch.
The angel food cake was done
first, then that group made some
strawberry fluff icing and decorated
the cake for snack. It was very
tasty.
They made up trivia questions for
the achievement day to be held at the
Cranbrook Hall on April 4 from 9:30
a.m. until 11 a.m. The leaders asked
that every member make a pie for
the achievement program.
The project books need to be
completed so they can go on display
that same morning.
Taking the cake
The Grey 4-H Snickerdoodles are getting ready for their achievement day to be held in a
couple of weeks. At their most recent meeting they enjoyed a tasty lesson baking cakes,
including a chocolate chiffon. From left: Adam Baan, Johanna Blake, Chelsey Terpstra, Sam
