Baking Contest Time

A tradition for us each fall is the Pineywoods Baking Contest.  Becka spends time all year planning what she’ll enter in to the contest (that coincides with our Pineywoods Fair).  That time has arrived.  Entries are due next week.  So…we are now spending lots of time baking desserts – we’ve had pies, cakes, cupcakes, and Christmas cookies.  We really wanted to do the Tie Dyed Cheesecake from Pop Century, but the rules state that the dessert can not require refrigeration.  I really think that if we baked it the night before and stored it in the freezer for a couple hours before turning it in, that it would be fine through the taste tests, but we are scared that they will just say that because it’s cheesecake, it should be disqualified because cheesecake SHOULD be kept cool.  *sigh*  So I think we’re settling on cookies.  We’ll be baking different types of cookies for the next week – there goes my diet!  LOL
