Rules

All entries must be homemade. Non-homemade items (pie shells, ice cream, etc.) may be used only if they are incorporated into the main homemade item. (Mixes are allowed, but only for the truly baking-impaired - this is supposed to be real baking.)
The decision of the judges and commissioner are final - bickering will incur a house penalty of 10 points.
Judging will be blind.

Be a Judge!

Judges earn 1 participation point. Judges get to be the first to taste all of the yummy desserts. Judges must arrive 30 minutes before the general Gluttony for the rule explanation and to start sampling early. You can be a judge for any category provided you did not submit an entry for that category. Please send email to maysoon at csail if you would like to be a judge. Make sure to state which category you would like to judge.
