A couple of noteable changes have been made for 2011:

In the student division (ages 8-18) there will be only one category for all desserts. That means all students entering pies, cakes, cookies, pastries, etc. will be in the same category. And only one entry per student will be allowed in the student division. Teenagers may compete in the "amateur" adult division (see below). STUDENT ENTRY FORM (PDF).

A new "professional" division has been added. Those who operates a dessert business -- whether it be through a restaurant, a store or home-based -- would fall into this new division. There will be only one category for all desserts in this division. The event will provide an opportunity to promote the business. PRO ENTRY FORM (PDF).

There will be three categories in the "amateur" adult  division --
1) cakes (amateur cake entry form)
2) pies (amateur pie entry form)
3) other desserts (amateur "other" entry form.

Amateur dessert makers may enter all three categories! But only one dessert per category per person will be allowed.

Desserts will be judged on three elements:
1) taste
2) appearance
3) creativity

Pre-registration will NOT be required; contestants may enter on the day of the event between 3:00 - 3:45 PM. Download the entry forms and information sheet below for more details.

At the Tom Bevill Enrichment Center.

Kitchen Show:

The kitchen show was new in 2010.

Last year, representatives from the following direct-marketing companies participated:

• The Pampered Chef
• Celebrating Home
• Scentsy Candles
• Princess House
• Willow House

Kitchen Show booth space is limited. Therefore, the available spaces will be assigned on a first-come-first-served basis.
