About

Hello Bakers! Welcome!
Do you like baking?
Have you ever wanted to share a recipe you invented?
Do you want more people to try out your recipes?
If you answered yes to any of the questions above, here's your chance.
This is a Baking Contest right here at Schoolhouse, where you will get three days to come up with an original recipe (But you can get inspiration online!) bake it, give it a name, and take a picture and a video (of you explaining your desserts, and a sneak-peek of you baking it) of your dessert that you will then submit for the competition. There are no requirements to participate, just a love for baking. Six judges will look at all the submissions and decide which one is the best recipe! The rubric that judges will be using for the competition will be shared shortly after the orientation session, where more information will be given.
🤩The winners will receive King Arthur Baking Company gift cards, more info on that in the orientation session.
So what are you waiting for? Join us in this contest this holiday season!



✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

There are only two sessions in this series, that are both mandatory. The orientation session will provide a lot of important information that you will need to know to participate and give you a chance to ask any questions. And you need to attend The Award Ceremony (Do I even need to explain) to find out the winner and cheer on fellow participants. We'd love to have you join us in these sessions! 💛

"There are no elevators to success, you have to take the stairs." -By the ✨Internet✨ Hey there! My name is Liya and I'm a middle school student from Maryland who likes to paint, write (Working on a novel!!), read (Currently reading Show Me A Sign), and bake (I need more tips on how to make pastry cream, last time . . . it was a mess) in my free time. I'm a member of the Schoolhouse Scholars Guild and the Welcoming Team. I am a student leader at my school district (Working with SMOB) and a major Potterhead ⚡ Super excited to be a part of Schoolhouse!

I am an 8th grader who enjoys STEM-related subjects, debate, and all types of music! 📚 Since 6th grade, I have received an A*s for all subjects along with a Directors Honor Roll every semester. This year, I've taken up the responsibility of being my school's debate team captain and placing top 0.8% of my county. I'm also preparing for the PSAT and SAT which I hope to take as a sophomore in high school. 🌐 At Schoolhouse, I am an English Subworld Newsletter Writer, SHW Tutor Community Agent, UNDP (United Nations Development Programme) Chairperson, and intermediate peer reviewer. 🌟 100+ positive reviews and "super helpful"s! 🌿 I hope to grow stronger in my educational journey with you all and help others along the way! 📱 DM me on Schoolhouse or SHW's Slack @jocelyn if you have any questions, concerns, or comments regarding classes (session requests are always open!) ✌️ INFJ / Virgo / NiFeTiSe

Hi! I'm a high school student with a passion for education. When I'm not blasting Harry Styles or Phoebe Bridgers, you can find me reading poetry, baking, or crocheting. I’m currently taking a variety of AP classes, and I'm also a coach, subworld moderator, and user support co-lead here at Schoolhouse—if you have any questions or want to review topics together, feel free to reach out! I’d love to help.
