Easy Does It: Baking your way into a contest

Can baking bread help fight breast cancer? Sure, if you enter your goods in the Fleischmann’s Yeast Bake for the Cure contest at the Utah State Fair. The contest will award $400 in cash prizes for baked goods using Fleischmann’s Yeast. Bakers can go wild with the theme of their creation: Winning entries are scrutinized for flavor, texture, appearance and creativity.

The state fair in Salt Lake City runs Sept. 8-18. Details and rules are available at the entry office at (801) 538-3247 and www.utah-state-fair.com .

There are other fair cooking contests as well. If you love chocolate, don’t miss the Ghirardelli Chocolate Championship. Entrants can use chocolate chips, bars or cocoa in their recipe. The first-place winner will receive $150. The chocolate treats are judged on taste, originality/creativity, appearance and ease of preparation.

In a third category, it’s flour that takes the cake. King Arthur Flour sponsors the Great Cake Contest, giving away $450 in prizes. Any type, shape, frosting or topping is accepted. (Of course, no cake mixes!) Taste, presentation and texture are important in this bake-off.

Before you deliver your prize-winning recipe to the state fair in September, you’ll need a lot of practice baking. Why not practice on a towering moist cake by Sharon Kurtz of Pennsylvania, who won first place in the Great Allentown Fair last year? Chocolate and mousse and raspberries and lots of frosting make for a very tall cake to serve 20 of your best friends! The King Arthur flour company shares her scrumptious recipe.

This is it. Tomorrow  is the day after almost three years without it, we are getting cable! I will now get all of your current pop culture references and stop comparing everything to the original 90201. No, that’s a lie. I will never live through a summer without thinking of the summer when Dylan and Kelly got together.

Dangerously close to cupcakes, let’s be honest.
