HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Kansas Wheat Commission is partnering with the Kansas State Fair to host the inaugural Bread Sculpture Contest.

Cindy Falk, nutrition educator for the Kansas Wheat Commission, explained how the contest came about:

 

 

Falk says there are several categories to enter, so everyone can get involved:

 

All participants must pre-enter with the Kansas State Fair no later than Aug. 15, 2018. There is one entry per participant, per class. Youth entries should follow the ruling for 4-H age. Sculptures may be constructed from frozen yeast dough or a yeast dough made from scratch. Sculptures will not be tasted, but seeds, herbs and other edible decorative toppings and icings may be used as artistic flourishes.

Falk wants the sculptures to spark each fairgoer’s imagination.
