Tips For Entering a Cake In the County Fair
OK...the kids talked me into it. I'm going to enter my Hummingbird Cake in our local fair. I've never entered anything in a fair, so I'm a total neophyte at this. The cake is to be presented to the judges as 2 layer, 1/2 cake + 1 slice.
My original recipe is not plant-based and I'm tempted to make it so by using an egg substitute and almond cream cheese. I may be asking for trouble with that, though. The judges may not like the taste of the almond cream cheese, or the cake might be too dense.
I'm also worried how to transport the finished cake, when to bring it in and other strategies. If you've ever entered a fair with your baked goods, I'd love to hear from you! Thanks!
