Judging Sweet Treats

The Cupcake Crawlers Rating Guide
Presentation : 10 points
Is the item in a proper container (for to go orders)? Is the frosting just thrown on? Was this the best choice of tip to use for the cake? Does it have eye appeal? Does it have a pleasant aroma? These are some of the main questions we are asking.

Toppings & Garnishes : 25 points
How well these components taste and the texture/appearance they have when being consumed make up most the points for this category.

Filling : 25 points
How the filling tastes and the texture of this surprise will make up the points accumulated here.
*Not every thing needs a filling, and for those that do not have a filling the points from Toppings & Garnishes will count twice.

Pastry : 25 points
This category reflects on how well the cake/pastry is cooked. Is it over done? What is the texture? And does it have a good flavor?

Flavor Profile : 10 points
This section looks at the Toppings, Fillings, and Pastry as a whole unit.

Creativity : 5 points
This is based on the opinion and personal experience of the taster.

The Sprinkle Rating
Some foodies base their experience on Stars, but here at the Cupcake Crawlers headquarters we base it on Sprinkles.
