JUDGING

The cake entries will each get a number.
Don’t put your name on your entry, since we’re making an effort for the judges to be unbiased.
Do name your cake entry. Be as creative as you like. It may work in your favor.
Judges will each have plates of cake brought to them, with the numbers on the entries.
They’ll just have the numbers on the cake – not the names of people.
The winning cakes will be decided according to the judges’ collective opinion.
Cakes will be judged on taste, appearance and Easter theme.
In the end, judges will deliberate and decide on the top 3.
Remember, this is just a local cake contest, so let’s all be good sports whether or not you win. The main thing is to have fun – and to eat cake!
