The Stages
You've got four teammates and four epic stages. In the end, you'll have one giant pasty. Each teammate races to complete a stage relay-style. Do you go for speed or perfection? That's up to you.
- Stage 1 - Short Crust: Get your hands dirty by combining and mixing ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
- Stage 2 - Filling: Its rolling time. Use the Olympic-certified foam noodle to roll out that dough. Add the tasy filling ingredients.
- Stage 3 - Pinch & Crimp: Get those fingers moving as contestants race to pull off the perfect pinch and crimp.
- Stage 4 - The Bake: No pasty is complete without that sweet egg wash shine. So grab a mop and get to swashing. Then take your masterpiece and race to the top of Pasty Mountain to complete the course.
The Prizes
How do you win a Pasty Relay? You've got three options:
- Fastest Time: The team who completes all four stages in the shortest amount of time. It doesn't have to be pretty, but you better get each step right.
- Most Appetizing: Listen, you're making a giant pasty with pool noodles and mops...it won't be a work of art. But heck, if it actually looks like a pasty in the end, you might win the beauty compeititon.
- Best Team Costumes: This is all about team-spirit. Maybe you're not the fastest...and maybe you're not destined for the culinary arts, but dang it, you came up with a cool team theme and rocked a sweet costume. That's worth some recognition. Let your imagination run wild!
