High School Baking Contest
This year, we are implementing a new 4-H Contest! There will be a category for high school 4-H’ers who love to bake, allowing them to compete in the County Baking Contest. The item to complete for the contest is a cake – either 8” or 9” round or up to a 9”x13” cake. Cakes baked in shaped pans are welcome in the contest, as long as the pan is not larger than a 9”x13”. The 9th and 10th graders are to bake a 1 layer cake, and the 11th and 12th should bake a two layer cake. The 9th and 10th graders should use all icing decoration and edible decorations, but no fondant. The 11th and 12th grade may use icing or fondant. The cakes will be judged based on appearance, taste, and texture. The cake and decorations must be made entirely by the 4-H member, and must be decorated entirely by the 4-H member. The cakes will be judged during the County Project Showcase on March 19th, and can be brought anytime between 8 A.M. and 6:00 P.M. that day.
