The donations come directly to the Savannah House and your donors are automatically thanked and receipted. No amount is too small, but if they support you with a $65+ donation, they will receive a $25 gift certificate to Kitchenware Outfitters! AND if you RAISE $65+ you receive a FREE Battle of the Bakers T-Shirt. What a deal!FEATURED BATTLE ITEM:
Each year, Battle of the Bakers will spotlight a baked good to see who has the Best of a particular item. One year, it might be the best chocolate chip cookie or the best apple pie. This year, we are looking for the best cheesecake. As such, cheesecake will have it’s own category this year.Other categories for the Battle of the Bakers are:
cookie pie/cobbler/tart cake brownie/bar muffin candy other
The Battle:
1. Contestants will be judged on three main categories: Taste, Appearance and Authenticity.
Judges will also be looking for creativity, originality, texture, and effort. All these will figure into the overall score.
There will be prizes for the winner in each category and for the Best in Battle.
2. There will be a Professional Experience Category and Home Only Category. If the contestant has had professional
culinary experience that would give him/her an edge over the Home Baker including attending Culinary School, the
contestant should enter this category.
3. All entries are encouraged to be baked “from scratch” with minimal to zero use of prepared mixes, doughs,
frostings, fillings or piecrusts. If any components are prepared or store-bought, it must be indicated in the recipe.
4. All contestants should make three judges’ portions, and at least
150 taster portions for the bake sale. For
example, if your item were a cookie, you would make 150 more cookies. If your item were a cake or pie, you would cut
your pieces into sample sizes and put them into taster cups. It is possible that each one of your 150 pieces will
be accounted for in the bake sale, so if you want to nibble or share with others, please make extra.
We ask that your taster portion not be too small as bake sale
guests are making a $65 donation to RMHC to taste your item.
5. Contestants are required to provide the judges and committee with 3 copies of the recipe
of their entries. Recipes should be typed or printed plainly on
an 8 ½”x11” sheet of paper, include contestant’s name and contact information,
and accompany their baked goods. The recipe should include a complete ingredient list with accurate measurements,
instructions for preparation and baking including temperatures and time.

table. (Have fun with it!)
