TOLEDO, Ohio, Aug. 13, 2014—If you love to bake and have an amazing recipe that you are dying to show off, then you do not want to miss this years’ German Kuchen Baking Contest at the German-American Festival. The festival will be held at Oak Shade Grove in Oregon, Ohio from Aug. 22-24. The baking contest will take place on Saturday, 3:30 p.m. at the Sidewalk Café.
“The German Kuchen Baking Contest is a great opportunity for amazing bakers to show off their skills. We look forward to the delicious dishes that are presented every year,” explained Diane Schmidt. “We even invite the festival attendees to get involved as unofficial taste testers, it’s a lot of fun.”

Once the winners have been determined and the prizes presented, the goods will be sold to the public.
