Adult supervisors were welcome and attended but the Kids were the Bakers! Several counter top ovens were rented and bakers were able to use the gas ovens in the Neighborhood House as well. A variety of measuring and mixing equipment were on hand well and bakers were encouraged to bring their own small box of bake wares and measuring equipment.

The young bakers made everything from scratch, No mixes were allowed. The basics were provided (all organic). Flour – Eggs – Butter – Heavy Cream – Milk – Baking Powder and Soda – Vanilla & Almond Extract – Sugar. Any additional or special ingredients or other items Teams had to provide themselves (and had to be made from scratch).

Various Awards were given including 1st, 2nd and 3rd place, Most Creative, Best Presentation, healthiest, and several Honorable Mentions.
