The 2009 Parade of State Fair Baking Entries

My schedule was really tight this year for State Fair baking. I was working in my new classroom the week prior to the drop-off Sunday, and returned home Thursday night, just in time to bake all day on Friday and Saturday. Somehow, I managed to get all 21 entries finished.

The ingredient line-up on Day 1.


Works in progress on Day 2.


The completed entries at 12:30 am, ready for the 8:00 am drop-off at the fairgrounds on Sunday morning.
