There's a strawberry festival in June, in the next county over. I think I may enter their baking contest.

Posted by kelly Apr 14 '16, 07:03

I've never entered a baking contest before. Do you think they look for traditional favorites or stuff that's a little "different"? The only rules are that it must be made from scratch (no box mixes etc) and must contain strawberries.

it never hurts. My wife won a hamburger recipe contest and got 50 coupons for free stuff (frozen burgers, chicken fingers, etc) - Beaker Apr 14, 07:46
BTW, if you have any leftover strawberries, I strongly recommend making strawberry crumble - Roger More Apr 14, 07:44
go get 'em, kid! -- nm - prayformojo Apr 14, 07:38
a little variation/difference would be more memorable. have fun! -- nm - Divaerys Targaryen-Breaker of Chains Apr 14, 07:29
I think this will require a lot of tastings to get your exact dish correct. - Will Hunting Apr 14, 07:22 9
- Of course. - kelly Apr 14, 07:26 1
  - sounds like a blast -- nm - Epiphany Apr 14, 07:31
- I don't think the man that thought spaghetti sauce was chili is going to be a good judge for her. I will step up however. -- nm - Bacon Apr 14, 07:25 4
  - I say this with peace and love but this is the man who put a grilled cheese in the MICROWAVE - Epiphany Apr 14, 07:30 2
    - he would eat the ass off a cow while it is walking. -- nm - groiny Apr 14, 07:30
    - will is the man, not bacon -- nm - Epiphany Apr 14, 07:30
  - heh -- nm - groiny Apr 14, 07:27
- fork and spoon??? - groiny Apr 14, 07:24 1
  - She frowns at me when I just tilt the plate and open the gullet. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 14, 07:25
Strawberry pot brownies. -- nm - Robert Barontheon Apr 14, 07:08 1
- Pfffft. - kelly Apr 14, 07:16
I would think you want to do something a bit different, so that it sticks in their minds. - groiny Apr 14, 07:08
i would go a little different. good luck! -- nm - Andie Apr 14, 07:07 20
- This is what I want to make - strawberry balsamic cupcakes. -- (link) - kelly Apr 14, 07:10 18
  - Playing devil's advocate, those are plain cupcakes with a strawberry topping. - Roger More Apr 14, 07:41 7
    - Heh, I just said the same thing to Will on the phone. - kelly Apr 14, 07:44 2
      - Strawberry balsamic vinegar. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 14, 07:54
      - yeah, I would do that too -- nm - decline Apr 14, 07:45
    - maybe a cinnamon cupcake under? -- nm - groiny Apr 14, 07:44 3
      - That would be nice with strawberries, but I don't see it matching with balsamic. (not that I've tried them together) -- nm - Roger More Apr 14, 07:47 2
        
        time to test it with our resident guinea pig..... -- nm - groiny Apr 14, 07:48 1
        
        If that's the case, let's be more adventurous. Make the cupcakes with Old El Paso taco sauce powder. -- nm - Roger More Apr 14, 08:02
  - sounds awesome (and holy sugar, batman!) -- nm - decline Apr 14, 07:26
  - *drools* - good luck! -- nm - Epiphany Apr 14, 07:22
  - Love -- nm - Bacon Apr 14, 07:16
  - I think that would be a great choice. -- nm - mara Apr 14, 07:16 4
    - The other one I was considering was strawberry lemonade layer cake. -- (link) - kelly Apr 14, 07:18 3
      - You're just going to have to make them both and have Will decide. :-) -- nm - mara Apr 14, 07:21 1
        
        Both -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 14, 07:22
      - Oh, man, that sounds yummy too. (Minor peeve with this site: it's a layer cake! Have a photo of a slice too!) -- nm* - mara Apr 14, 07:20
  - I would eat that -- nm - groiny Apr 14, 07:11
  - sounds yummy (and makes sense really - strawberries in salad with balsamic are great.) -- nm - Andie Apr 14, 07:11
- strawberry rhubarb galette -- nm* - decline Apr 14, 07:09
I think it depends on the festival and how crazy the judges are -- nm* - decline Apr 14, 07:05
I've never been to a baking contest but they look tasty on TV. Best of luck coming up with the winning recipe! -- nm - Krusty Apr 14, 07:05
