This year’s “Diamond Bake Off” will be any Layer Cake.  The contest will be held Thursday, September 3rd, 2026 at our Chicks Night Out.

Here are the contest rules and basic information:

  • All entries need to be 100% edible (decorations included) and have at least two layers.

  • Entries need to be delivered between 4:30 and 5:00pm.
  • Recipes must be submitted with each entry.
  • All entries MUST be homemade from scratch and prepared by the entrant.
  • Entries should be submitted in a disposable container. If you choose to use your own container, make sure your name is on the bottom, and do so knowing there’s a chance it may not get back to you.
  • All leftovers after judging become the property of Bauman’s Farm and Garden.
  • All participants need to follow Oregon State Extension Services Food Safety & Handling. Check out this link for more information: You Can Prevent Foodborne Illness | OSU Extension Catalog | Oregon State University
