Ya know....I"m seriously thinkin this was a contest for the mens benefit......

Man to wife: "But honey....the photo contest this week is baked goods...you hafta bake somethin so I can take a picture of it!!!!!"

Then....there's sweets to eat after the picture takin took place......

We were suckered into this deal....hahaha

[hypocritexposer]

I can't decide. Is there any way could have a taste test?

This is one of those contests that should be carried on for about a year, so each contestant can have time to send a sample to each voter.

I take bribes, anyone else?

Hard to pick which meringue pie without knowing what is under all that calf slobber. Hate to vote for one hopping it is chocolate and it turns out to be banana creme.

Haha I was thinkin the same thing. Maybe we should have asked....what is it...and post that along with the photo.

My mama had a method of making pies...where there was no questions asked as to what kind. Her Chocolate mirangue pies had chocolate chips sprinkled on top before toastin in the oven. Coconut cream had coconut sprinkled on top. Apple pie, had an apple drawn on the top crust before baking...peach same thing.

Ok, ok, I take the hint. We'll have canning/freezing as a catagory.
