Stone Ridge Library Second Annual Cake Off
Saturday, October 5
10-12pm Library Lawn
(Rain Date: Sunday, October 6, 10-12)
On October 5th, 2024, the Stone Ridge Library will be hosting their second Cake Off, a baking competition and friend-raising event, as part of the library’s fall book and bake sale. Ten amateur bakers from Ulster County, NY, will present homemade cakes from scratch for judging by local professional bakers, last year’s winning bakers, and members of the community. Prizes will be awarded in various creative categories. Members of the public are invited to attend the event at no cost and enjoy bites of cake as part of the judging.
Like the popular baking competition television program, The Great British Bake Off, the library’s Cake Off hosts ten amateur, local bakers who present their “show-stopping” cake creations to three judges and the general public. Each cake is created based on a recipe from a baking book in the Mid-Hudson Library system, of which the Stone Ridge Library is a member.
As well as professional judging over flavor combinations and overall design, the People’s Choice award will be presented to the baker who earns the most votes from the general public. The award categories are all in good fun, and include a variety of creative names, such as “An Edible Artist’s Palette” and “Mixing Bowl Madness”.
