The Pound Ridge Bake-Off, an annual baking contest for all ages, brings wholesome and old-fashioned fun to town. Introduced by Partnership Vice President Terri Pike, the Bake-Off began 10 years ago as a Pound Ridge Proud Days event. This year, it will take place right after the Color Run on Saturday, June 3 on the new Green in Scotts Corners. A DJ and microphoned judges will be on stage in front of a live audience, with everyone enjoying the shade under a big tent.
Community members in Pound Ridge, as well as our neighbors in Bedford and Katonah, are invited to compete in four categories:
ADULTS
1. Cake
2. Cookies
3. Pie
JUNIORS:
4. Cake, Cookies, OR Pie
We will award medals to winners, and a perpetual trophy with each year’s Grand Prize Winner will sit year-round at Blind Charlie’s, giving the Grand Prize Winner some serious bragging rights. Scroll down to sign up and start gathering your recipes today!
