WHO: Anyone (tag yourself in)
WHERE: Fuchsia City
WHEN: August 10
SUMMARY: Mingle log for the cook off!
RATING: PG13, will edit in any warnings
LOG:

Fuchsia may be used to this kind of attention due to the ever so popular attractions they have there, but after people have been shuffled in from all parts of the world, its likely more noticeable for the natives. There are several tables set out and decorated in the various manner by whoever is borrowing them for the day as well as different areas set up to provide shade. A little bit away from the main crowd is a clear with sprinklers and other toys (water balloons, squirt bottles, etc) meant to harass those who need to cool down just a bit. Don't worry, admission is free and everyone is allowed to chow down provided you're on good terms with whichever table you visit.

Make your own threads and just mingle around. Voting will take place in this thread for the two competitions. Due to it being a con weekend and school preparations, winners will be decided/rewarded later on in the week.

Okay, so the bake sale cookies turned out fine and Aradia helps cook for her travel group, so this should be okay, right?

WRONG.

Aradia is perfectly good with following directions/recipes. This is true. But for her entry, she decided it would be "fun" to experiment! And since she wanted to make chocolates, she experimented with those. In this case "experiment" means "throw in anything she likes".

So on a red plate, neatly arranged, are some pretty questionably lumpy looking chocolates. There are a bunch of weird things to be found in them, from gummy candies to caramels to bits of fruit. Some of these things might be okay alone, but they are just a little...too much. Chocolates range from too bitter to too sweet to sort of dusty tasting, and all of them are weirdly lumpy and textured and uh yeah.

Why would you vote for this? Are you insane? Do you like weird foods? Are you emotionally compromised or something, these are objectively horrible in every possible way. They even LOOK terrible.

She is so proud of herself right now though.

Initially, John had intended to have his entry be actual, real food, as he put it. But in the end, while he wasn't a bad cook by any stretch of the imagination, he'd always been a much better baker, loathe though his younger self had been to admit it. Baking just ran in his blood, whether he wanted it to or not.

Screw boxed cake mix though, that stuff is still basically the devil. If you're going to bake, you better make that stuff from scratch, which is exactly what John did.

Though, admittedly, he might have gone a little overboard with this. Arranged on a plain white stand are about fifty cake pops, which have been decorated with various candies to look like various round or cylindrical Pokémon. There are five of each: Poliwag, Natu, Jigglypuff, Munna, Oddish, Jigglypuff, Litwick, Drifloon, Azurill, and Omanyte. The cake itself is a rich chocolate-vanilla marble, dipped in various colors of chocolate bark (which tastes like white chocolate no matter what color it is because food dye) and then decorated accordingly.

The question here is: can you actually stand to bite into these adorable confections?

Okay this is cake except on popsicle sticks, there was no way this wasn't getting Honey's vote.

Actually, if he isn't stopped he may try to eat a good chunk of the 50...

★★★★★
A full five stars! And his vote for the ~winning entry~.

You people are gonna make yourselves diabetic, goddamn.

Lancer, on the other end of the culinary spectrum, had been hard at work on an ancient and delicious dish comprised mainly of lamb, potatoes and carrots. It was probably a little too hot outside for that, he realized in hindsight, but oh well. He could cook and do it pretty damn well by his country's ~~(limited)~~ standards, so that's exactly what Lancer did.

As much of a screwup as he could be in literally every other aspect, it would be pretty hard to say he'd fallen flat in this case.

While he went with another one for his personal pick to win (...though it's one vote, so you have a shot still, Lancer!) Honey's taking his judge duties seriously and trying everything.

★★★★☆
It has a good taste and presentation, but...for this hot weather, stew isn't really the thing! Perhaps in winter months he'd give it another star...

Since he's not a judge for the pokemon side of the competition, Honey signs up here. His poffins are pink, sweet, and were poured into strawberry-shaped molds, so that is what they look like. There are also one or two heart and shower shaped poffins. They're arranged very professionally and cutely, too.

He does all of his own cooking these days for himself and his pokemon, and specializes in sweet things, so this is a lot better than another Lucy character's entry.
