So, Crash informed me this wednesday that I will be doing a dessert for friday night. CRAP!!! I have NEVER made a dessert without an oven before. Now, I LOVE to bake and do it as much as I can but how do I transfer my recipies to work outside? Any advice woud be greatly appreciated. I don't need Crash trading me in for a newer model now. O0 :)

Most dessert competitions held in conjunction with a barbeque competition require only that the dessert not be store bought and that the dessert be assembled on site. You can cook the dessert in advance and bring it to the contest but it must be assembled on site.
For example, if you were going to enter a layer cake you could only bake the cake layers at home and bring them to the event site. All construction, i.e. building the layers, frosting and decorating would need to be completed on site.
Make sense?

I get it, that makes perfect sense. I am now not going to have a heart attach. Now I just need to figure out what I want to make. I am assuming presentation is a big part of this catagory? From pictures I have seen they look very detailed and elborate.

I volunteer to taste whatever you make, so MAKE EXTRA!!! ;D
As for Crash trading you in on a new model, he wouldn't know what to do with a new model... They don't run the same way you "Old" ones do... ;D :o ;D
(Oh I'm so getting in trouble for that comment... ;D ;D)

Since when did 29 get old. Hey, I offered him a trade option for free when I hit 27. His warrenty is up now. He is pretty stuck. And no one else would be a better pit **tch for him!!!! It is what I do best. ::)
Maybe I will make something extra special with that rum and make lots for those 3am hunger pains!!!!

Ah yes, the infamous 3 am Hunger Pains... ;D

Well, I have no experience with competition BBQ (yet) but as long as the dessert doesn't have to be presented in individual portions, a trifle would be easy to prepare onsite with limited cooking equipment and looks pretty too. Not to insult anyone's dessert intelligence, but a trifle is basically cubes of cake layered with custard, whipped cream, sometimes fruit==let your imagination go crazy== in a clear glass pedistal bowl. I do one for the holidays with gingerbread sprinkled with Capt Morgan, pumpkin custard, whipped cream and garnished with crumbled gingersnap cookies. Is this kind of thing on the right track????

If you are making something with The Captain, Then I certainly need to be the Taste Tester...
Me and the Captain go WAY back... ;D

I told my wife when she turned 40 I was going to trade her in for two 20 year olds.....she just laughed and said she would like to see me try to keep up with them! She is probably right...but......awwww, nevermind. ;D
