Helpful Hints for Show Cooking

• Jams, etc - make sure jars are a uniform size and clean - 500g.
• Pickles - do not overcook - vegetables to be chunky and recognisable.
• Scones - uniform size and excess flour dusted off.
• Pikelets - small and uniform size and evenly browned.
• Lamingtons - small cube of uniform size.
• Cakes - no rack marks. No holes and fresh - only ice if instructed and on top only.
• Patty Cakes - iced cakes should be plain and cooked in tins not paper.
• Fruit cakes - fruit evenly cut. Boiled cakes and plum pudding do not have cherries.
• Biscuits - small and dainty.
