Purpose: The purpose of the Fellas' Cake Bake Contest is threefold:
1. To provide all Cub Scouts and their male friends and associates (like
brothers, dads, grandpas, uncles, etc.) an opportunity and excuse to wreak
havoc on their kitchens.
2. To attempt to create a gourmet dessert that rivals anything the Waldorf-Astoria can dish out.
3. To win a ribbon for having tried your dangdest to make a cake that looks,
sounds, smells, feels, and tastes edible.
Prizes: To winners in each of the seven categories, ribbons for first, second, and third places. To all, a cake bake patch and a chance to share some delicious dessert creations with everyone else. The judging categories are:
Best Cub Scout Theme
Best “Hometown Heroes” Theme
Flattest
Biggest
Yummiest Looking
Tallest
Most Colorful
Rules: All rules must be followed. Judges will use rules as the basis for qualification.
1. Only male cooks, advisors, and cleanup crews are allowed to participate. No advice, instructions, or help of any sort is allowed from the "girls."
2. The cake and all decorations must be completely edible. No plastic, wax, wood (this includes toothpicks), or any other inedible materials are allowed as part of the cake.
3. Cake and icing mixes are allowed; however, it has been past contestants' experience that the more from scratch you make it the messier it can get. And the messier it gets, the more fun you have doing it.
4. Members of the "fairer sex" (moms, sisters, grandmas, aunts, etc.) are encouraged to watch, enjoy, and laugh about the experience. Photo opportunities abound!
5. Registration will take place from 6:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on 29 Nov at AWE School.
6. Cakes should be placed on something “disposable” as they might
not be returned after the auction.
7. After the judging and awarding of the prize ribbons all cakes
will be auctioned off to the highest bidder. The spirit of the auction is meant to be FUN. Please no “high pressure” bidding.
8. For those participants who do not wish to have their cakes placed on auction a $5.00 donation is requested. The decision as to whether your cake will be auctioned or returned to the baker must be made at the time of registration.
Any questions regarding the contest and auction should be addressed to your Den Leader.
