Participation in the dessert competition is optional. Entries will be divided into two age divisions, 17 years and under and 18 years and older.
All entries must be made ahead of time and entered in a completed state. No one will be able to cook, heat, or finish desserts at the parish center. All entries must serve at least 12 people. (Desserts leftover after judging will be served to those attending.)
Entries must exclude the use of dairy except for butter and Greek yogurt. Entries must include the use of oatmeal, sugar, vanilla extract, and fruit of your choice. All entries will be judged on taste, creativity, and appearance. Decision of the judges is final. The top prize for the winner in each age category is $50 cash.
