Summer Homeschooling - Cake Wars Week

CAKE WARS WEEK -

Sunday: Batter Up! Challenge

  • Welcome, bakers, to Cake Wars! For your Round One: Batter Up! Challenge today, the theme is: FLORIDA!!!
  • To create your personal cake for judging, you must use at least one of these ingredients, native to the great state where you currently live. You can use your phone for ideas and recipes. You'll be judged on how distinct your special ingredient is, how well it blends with the other flavors you choose to use, and your overall creativity with your cake. AND GO!
  • Ingredients:
    • Key Limes
    • Oranges
    • Orange Juice
    • Blueberries
    • Grouper
    • Tomatoes
    • Pecans
  • The Judging
  • And now, the moment you've all been waiting for, the Cake Off! Challenge theme - and that is: Your Favorite Disney Movie
    • Tomorrow, you'll use the daytime to design and sketch out your cake on notebook paper. You can use your phone for ideas and recipes. Make sure to map out:
      • What kind and flavor of cake/icing, ingredients needed
      • The creative design of the cake
      • Any extra ingredients you may need that we don't already have in the pantry (send that list to Mama by 12PM)
    • During your design time, keep in mind the requirements of this challenge:
      1. The cake flavor profile must be related to the theme or culture of your movie
      2. You must have at least one design element on the cake that represents a character from your movie
    • See you tomorrow evening, bakers!

Monday: Cake Off! Challenge - Part One

  • Remember:
    1. The cake flavor profile must be related to the theme or culture of your movie
