Tillamook County Dairy Women
SEVENTH ANNUAL
“Dairy Dessert Bake-Off”

Calling all dessert creators! The Tillamook County Dairy Women are

asking you to submit your best dairy dessert to the 2019 Tillamook County Fair. We are looking for the best dairy-licious dessert. The only rule for the contest is your recipe must contain AT LEAST 3 dairy products! So let the mixing bowls and measuring cups fly and get out the butter, milk, whipping cream, cheeses and sour cream. Remember a dairy product is something made with milk from a cow (eggs are from chickens!).

Submit a typed copy of your recipe along with the finished product to

the Tillamook County Fair Culinary Dept. by Tuesday, August 6th, 10 am (if you don’t have your recipe typed, you will be disqualified).

Desserts will be judged by a committee consisting of Tillamook Fair

Culinary Judges and Tillamook County Dairy Women and judged on taste,
appearance and use of dairy products.

who reserve the right to publish them in future cookbooks and other publications.
