On September 15th we had our first Woodbridge Dessert Contest held at the Bingham's house. The contestants were fierce and the desserts were delicious. Here is a rundown of the evening.
Sugar Cookie recipe can be found here.
Shane put together a fine powerpoint presentation. The slides are included below.

Adam, the host of the event, held nothing back with an incredible poem and a "Dessert Madness King" sports coat.
Adam's Poem:
Welcome to the home of the Sweet Madness King ... Tonight you will find that bakings my thing.
My opponent is witty, gritty and tough ... A PhD in economics ...
But it wont be enough.
He's likely built spreadsheets, graphs and charts ...
just to find a way ...
to get at your hearts!
I haven't done any of those tedious things ... I'm more cunning and devious,
... at least it would seem
He hails from Illinois ...
A most curious state ...
People there lie, steal and cheat just to feel great!
I doubt Shane has inherited any of these flaws ...
But who knows -- a store purchased dessert might be on his paws!
Nah, he wouldn't do that, or would he really stoop that low?
Don't put it past him ... He's in DC now you know.
I've set him up to think about this too much ...
He's stewed on it for weeks
trying to be the best of the bunch.
But it's all for naught as tonight you will see ...
The votes will be counted and they'll all be for me!
All my ingredients ...
are of course purely mine ...
Nothing store purchased ...
just simply divine.
And while my opponent will claim that as well
I recently obtained some relevant intel ...
In his kitchen his wife stirred the pot ...
It's true ... He doesn't know how to do a lot!
This contest is between men who know how to bake
But perhaps it's good Kylee made it for our sake ...
What I have for you ...
just 6 days before Fall ...
Is a Heavenly cheesecake made from scratch ... But that's not all.
It rings in a new season with pumpkin in mind ...
And a marshmallow topping ... O so sublime!
A ginger snap crust with a hint of pecan ... Finished off with some caramel ... And then it was done.
One bite i can assure you ...
is all that you'll need
Before casting your ballot for no one other than me!
You'll savor it and love it all night long ...
My opponents ... you'll likely spit out
and just yell out "Wrong!"
I won't blame you ..
He's just not that good.
After-all, lets face it ... I'm the baker that could.
And much like the Masters a green jacket I wear ...
Inscribed with my victories from year after year
So lets get to tasting and lets get your vote ...
My dessert is amazing ...and bakings my thing ...
Let us never forget ... I'm the Sweet Madness King!!!
Both desserts were delicious and it was tough decision for most. As the votes were read aloud, it was apparent that this was going to be a neck-and-neck race. Every vote counted.
The final count was 18 to 16 votes.....
