What should I bake to win a baking contest?

Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte

Based on what I have seen on Cake Boss, you should make a cake and then sculpt something out of Rice Krispie treats to put on top of the cake. Then cover the Rice Krispie treat sculpture with modeling chocolate and add decorations.

Snowman Sweets

Then send me some ;)

Lemon chese cake…..MMMmmmmnnnnn cheese cake!

Make dinosaur cookies. I’ll be the judge.

Some sort of cheesecake. Cool the cheesecake, then apply warm chocolate and caramel drizzle, then ASAP, use a butter knife to slice through it diagonally and perpendicularly to make designs.

I’m of the school of thought that dessert should look like dessert.

Waffles

Weed brownies. It’s a proven winner every time :)

In all seriousness, you should make a yule log. It’s festive, impressive, and only semi-difficult. You also get to make it snow powdered sugar at the end, which is the most satisfying part!

Right, tha’s it, I’m off to asda!......

@Pazza, see, I’d also go to ASDA, but it’s the A train from Brooklyn to JFK in Queens, then JFK to Heathrow, then the Picadilly line to Manor House, then I’d have to walk a couple of blocks from Dunsmere Road… or, wait, is that a Tesco? Well, whatever, I mean, I love cheesecake, but that’s quite a long trip. That’s an 8-hour trip!

@Pazza – Tesco is better :)

@pjanaway
Well, every little helps!

Something that will go into an oven.

Something like on Ace of Cakes!

Stollen.

Cinnamon roles. I’d kill for my moms or my dads. They also present themselves well. Simple beauty and wonderful flavor.

Lol. Rolls! Not roles.

Dutch Oven!!

thanks everyone. I made molasses cookies turned into mini whoopie pies with some sea salt.. and I won. Ask me for the recipe.

Congrats on the win, @dianalauren!
