July 12 is the final day for chefs and bakers from across Ohio to enter the “Smile and Say, Cheesecake!”, “Ultimate Breakfast Challenge” and the popular “Cupcakes and Cake Pops Galore” competitions sponsored by the Ohio Poultry Association (OPA) and American Dairy Association (ADA) Mideast.
Cupcakes and Cake Pops Galore
The “Cupcakes and Cake Pops Galore” contest returns for its fourth year and will take place at 3 p.m. on July 27 in the DiSalle Creative Arts Center. New this year is a cake pops category in the amateur baker division. Cake pops are small balls of cake covered in chocolate or fondant and served on a stick like a lollipop. Also new this year is a professional baker division. All recipes for both amateur and professional divisions must be homemade and each participant must use a combination (whites or yolks) of three to four eggs in each recipe.
Ultimate Breakfast Challenge
In partnership with the American Dairy Association Mideast, the “Ultimate Breakfast Challenge” competition will kick off at 10 a.m. on July 28 with a cooking challenge that will pit local celebrities against each other. After the celebrity chef competition, up to 20 exhibitors will be judged on recipes they must prepare in 30 minutes using a mystery basket of ingredients that will include Ohio eggs and dairy products.
Smile and Say, Cheesecake!
The popular “Smile and Say, Cheesecake!” Recipe Contest will make its eighth appearance at 6 p.m. on July 27. Three classes of cheesecakes will be judged including a savory, sweet and individual. Each cheesecake must contain at least four fresh Ohio eggs and “real dairy” products.
To enter in any of the three competitions, please visit www.OhioStateFair.com and click on “competitions” and then click on “cooking, baking and decorating.” Entries must be submitted by July 12.
