Bake Off

We're whipping up something extra special to celebrate 40 glorious years of Huck Fest! Drumroll, please ..... presenting The Huckleberry Bake-Off! Time to rev up those mixers and dig out those trusty measuring cups. Dust off your cookbooks and fire up the oven! This scrumptious showdown is sure to be a mouthwatering addition to a weekend of family fun. We've enlisted a crew of local celebrity chefs to taste-test and judge the sweet creations. The baker whose treats tickle the taste buds will snag a trophy, some cash, Huck Fest swag, and, naturally, supreme bragging rights!

Entries are to be delivered between 9:00am and 9:30am on Saturday, August 16th to Samuel’s Park. Judging will be from 10:00am to 12:00pm. The winner will be announced at 12:15pm.

Any leftover items will be the property of the contestants.
Baked goods requiring refrigeration will not be accepted.
Please do not bring add-ons to your recipes. For example, no ice cream, dips or accompanying butters or spreads. If something is to be added, it should be a part of the specific dish, not something the judge is expected to “add on” ie. frosting is acceptable as it is prepared on the baked good, while butter is not, as the judge would need to “add” it to the dish.
Contestants must submit an ingredient list with their entry.
Ingredients will only be shared with judges.
To remain anonymous for the fairness of judging, contestant names will not be shared with the judges.

Each contestant will be assigned a number for judging. Submissions will be judged on a scale of 1-5, 5 being the highest.
Contestants will be judged on taste, texture, appearance and creativity.
The Contest Committee will tally all of the ballots. The contestant with the highest score will be the winner.
