Rules

1. It is not expected that items should be made during meetings, unless it is practical to do so.
2. Items could be made at home and either brought into the meeting for judging or a photograph may suffice.
3. Winners from each heat are expected to be available and willing to take part in the next heat.
4. The entry fee for each entrant will be £1 (this will cover the cost of a badge).
   Units will need to send numbers of entrants to County Office so badges can be ordered.
5. Recipes are provided as a suggestion, but own recipes are acceptable. Please DO NOT use packet mixes!
6. Rainbows will only enter at unit level due to their young age. A photograph of each entry will be required by the events team to judge and award a Rainbow county winner.
7. Entrants reaching the County Final will be expected to bring a cake that is made and baked by the finalist, along with decorations, icing/buttercream, utensils, cake stand and anything else that is required to complete the task of creating a ‘Show Stopper’.
8. Items made will be judged on
   * Appearance
   * Texture
   * Flavour
   * Evenness of sizes
   * Colour
   * Originality of recipe and design.
9. Participants may choose to use gluten free flour or dairy free butter (allergies etc), so when judging please be mindful that the texture etc may be quite different to that of baking with self raising flour and butter/margarine.
10. Please note this is a NUT FREE competition.
11. Enjoy the challenge and have lots of fun experimenting with different types of bakes and flavours.

Schedule

Downloadable rules, schedule and recipes

The schedule mentions district/division heats for some however we are aware that each area may decide to vary how this will work e.g. some are skipping district level and just holding a division event, others are skipping unit levels.

The recipes and heats are suggestions, open to interpretation and your own risk assessments.

Rainbows are not expected to bake their own gingerbread people.
