Great CAYC Bake-off

Adults - your brief is to make an 8 inch Victoria sponge which you can decorate in any way you wish. You should be ready at 7.30pm with your 'uncut' cake to show it off to everyone.

Juniors - your brief is to make 6 identical muffins, any type or flavour and again decorated anyway you like. They should be ready on a plate at 7.30pm for display at the Zoom meeting.

(Or as a junior, if you would rather make a Victoria sponge you are of course welcome)

Your cake/muffins will be judged firstly on 'presentation' by all other participants on screen (via a WhatsApp message to Kathryn Anderson) and by the judges, Margaret Mooney, Jo Nixon and Kathryn Anderson.

Secondly, the judges will award marks out of 10 for each participant for creativity/imagination

Thirdly, all participants will need to be accompanied by a family member who will be asked to undertake a 'live tasting' on screen and award a score out of 10

And finally, the judges will want to take a close up look of the cut cake/muffin and award marks out of 10 for texture.
In terms of Zoom itself - it would be preferable if you could use a desktop, laptop or large tablet rather than a phone, so that you can get a good view of all the screens. You should enter 'full screen mode' during the call, and select the speaker view option in the top right corner of the screen. This will ensure that when each of you is showing/sharing your creation, you are on the full screen.

Happy to answer any questions - good luck everyone and happy baking.
