About Brooklyn's Finest Bake Off...
This annual event is a fundraiser sponsored by Morning Star Highway Church of Christ, located in Brooklyn, NY. The invitation to participate is open to residents of New York City but with a specific focus on residents of the borough of Brooklyn.
The event will be held outdoors around the perimeter of Morning Star Highway Church of Christ, 869 Halsey St., Brooklyn, NY (corner of Halsey St. & Saratoga Ave.) on Saturday, October 19, 2024 from 2pm - 5pm. Participants are required to bring their baked goods to Morning Star Highway Church on Friday, October 18, 2023 (please let us know your planned arrival time). On the day of the event, please join us at 1:30pm to pick up any t-shirts you may have ordered (and to say Hello!)
The process...
Participants will submit the baked goods of their choosing to be judged by popular vote (attendees sampling the goods will be asked to submit votes in each category) as well as by a judge's board.
People's Choice Awards
The community will determine the People's Choice Awards winners by voting in each category. Their will only be ONE winner per category in this segment.
Judged Awards
Our judges will determine the Best Overall baked good product and present 1st, 2nd and 3rd place awards. Unlike the People's Choice Awards, judged awards allow for the presentation of three awards only, regardless of category. Every baked good entry will be considered for the (judged) Best Overall in baked goods award category.
Fees...
Participants can register for multiple categories but must pay a fee of $15 per category entry. For an additional $15, you will recieve an official "Brooklyn's Finest Bake Off" t-shirt (encouraged but not mandated for participation).
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- All baked goods must be homemade, NOT store purchased. Use of commercial (store bought) cake mix and/or pie mix is permissible.
- Participants must prepare a minimum of TWO baked good items PER CATEGORY, as samples will be provided to both judges and general attendees of the event.
- The Brooklyn's Finest Bake Off steering committee will provide sample cups, plates, cutlery and display space for your entry items.
- Heating elements such as plate warmers will not be provided and are not permitted on display tables.
