Quote: Thanks, I think that I have earned a blue ribbon, that is one that multiple people can have in a group, I am just hoping for purple which is the winner

Nice cake @Poka Doodle ! I've wondered before, what happens to the baked goods that are entered at fairs? Do the participants take them home or are they donated somewhere?

I would love to be making some pumpkin bread, but the zucchini motherload season is here, so it's zucchini bread today.  Any really new ideas for this vegetable?

Zucchini chocolate mudcake is pretty good.

This is my go to one, although I add however much zucchini I have on hand, usually leftover from savoury dishes, so anywhere up to two cups. Although I would encourage you too stick with the recipe, I think the extra zucchini adds depth and flavour to the chocolate and moisture, but my sister claims mine tastes too much like chocolate zucchini slice for her tastes.

So you know...moto each their own.

Good luck on getting first place….I always thought the judges tasted the goods in the contests.

I think I posted my favorite pumpkin bread recipe here a while back. It makes 2 big loaves, easy to make and can be frozen if it lasts that long.

There it is, post #298. Wow, we've come a way since then. I've really enjoyed this thread, thanks everyone for participating!

Thanks for hosting the thread, it's one of my favorites

.

And thanks for post # to the recipe. I haven't baked "real" pumpkin bread, the recipe I have tried is more of a sheet/flat cake . Will try the bread in the Fall.
