There are many recipes for frostings and fillings. But when choosing a recipe to use for a fair exhibit, keep food safety in mind as not all are safe to store at room temperature. See our new publication on this topic and the science behind the recipe.

 

Virtual Fair Judges Training

Your decision to judge foods and/or food preservation at county fairs or the State fair can be very rewarding. It is a great way to help educate youth and others in making good quality and safe food products.
