Still time to stir up a winning cake
The recipe for the cake
contest has already been tried
by many of the county's best
cooks! There is still time for
anyone 18 years of age or over,
living in Morrow county to stir
it up ... and get it to the fair.
The annual Wheat Grower's
League cake contest is one of
the most anticipated activities
at fair. There's always a
crowd hanging around waiting
for the news of the winners.
There is no need to pre-reg-ister
... just bake the cake
following instructions in the
premiuim book. Bring it to the
open class foods area at the
fairgrounds and enter it Sun
day by 8:00 p.m. Judging will
be early Monday morning.
First place winner will re
ceive $10: second $5; and third
$3. The winner also receives a
paid trip to the bake off at the
Oregon Wheat Growers Con
vention, and the opportunity to
win $100 cash.
The fluffy white frosting
recipe included with the
recipe is a perfect topping for
the tasty cake, and must be
used on the fair entry. A handy
hint regarding the frosting ...
Be sure the milk and flour
mixture which are cooked
together are totally cold
before adding it to the remain
der of the ingredients. Recipe
says "cool", but you'll
have better results if it is
completely cooled.
Betty Carlson, state OWGL
consumers program chair
man, tells us that she bakes
this cake frequently for fam
ily, and other good cooks
confirm it has been one of
their favorites for many
years. Betty encourages all
women and men to give it a try
... and bring it to the fair!
