Rules:
Bring recipe to be submitted with entry. Only home-cooked products will be accepted. No products shall be made from packaged mixes. The judges will sample all products. No baked goods will be accepted from stores or bakeries. A well-made cake properly baked should be of uniform thickness, not high in the middle or the sides of the tin and low in other places.
PLEASE NOTE:
Do not bring cakes in pans with sides as all cakes must be removed to uniform display plates, and only ½ of entry will be taken for exhibit. (Bring cake in such a way that it may be cut in half on site. Example. Bring entry on a heavy duty ‘chinet’ or oval plate or cardboard. No doilies, please).
Do not bring any item to exhibit that will melt, or that needs to be refrigerated, or needs to be kept cool. There is NO REFRIGERATION available. (example, no cheesecakes, soft chocolates or cream cheese icings) Decorated Cakes will stay Whole.
