FAQs

---

What if I can't cook or bake?
We will allow entries that don't require a stove or oven. Parfaits, ice cream sundaes, or even milkshakes will all be accepted as long as the entries are not low-effort and meet the criteria of having a distinct Animal Crossing or TBT theme.

What counts as acceptable pre-made ingredients?
Small candies and snacks, ice cream, yoghurt, frosting, etc.
Store-bought mixes for things like cakes, brownies, etc are also acceptable.

Can I use small toys or party favors to decorate my entry?
No, everything on your entry must be edible.

Am I allowed to use cupcake wrappers even though they aren't edible?
Containers or other items that are necessary for supporting your dessert do not have to be edible. This includes things like plates, glassware, cupcake wrappers, popsicle or cake pops sticks. However, these accoutrements cannot be the primary means of decoration that goes towards your Animal Crossing or TBT theme.

Do Animal Crossing in game recipes count as Animal Crossing related?
Yes, I will accept in game recipes as being Animal Crossing related. However, please follow the guidelines listed below.

• If you use an in game recipe, please link a reference photo from the game or wiki.
• If the recipe is rather small and plain (things like the jellies or scones), please add something to give it a stronger link to the game or TBT.
• Remember that these will be judged for staff favorites. No matter how much I might wish it were so, we can't taste them so presentation matters.

Delectable Delights is now open!

 

[Halloqueen]

It took a while for me to come up with an idea for this over the past week, but I like what I conceptualized at least. Hopefully it will be practical and I can pull it off.

Looking forward to seeing everyone's entries!

Question: I have these little cookies in the shape of mushrooms (called Chocomont), am I allowed to use these as decorations in my idea or are those not allowed?

 

[Rio_]

Sorry if this is a silly question, but is using stuff like premade cake mix/brownie mix/etc acceptable?

 

[Minou]

If I make plain scones from scratch based on this ACNH recipe, will it count as animal crossing themed even if they just look plain?

 

[Giddy]

Okay, have an idea on what I wanna do.
Definitely not something I've ever made before, so this will be fun, stressful and hopefully tasty on my end.

FINALLY a baking event i am so excited aaaaaaaaaaa

 

[LadyDestani]

Some questions answered: (I will update the main post later)

When I say that your entire entry must be edible, I am not counting containers or other items that are necessary for supporting your dessert. Plates, glassware, cupcake wrappers, popsicle sticks or scewers for cake pops would all be acceptable simply as means of keeping your dessert contained and edible. However, these accoutrements cannot be the primary means of decoration that goes towards your AC or TBT theme.

Question: I have these little cookies in the shape of mushrooms (called Chocomont), am I allowed to use these as decorations in my idea or are those not allowed?

Yes, I had to look them up but I think these could be considered the same as Hershey Kisses or candy corn or things of that nature, so I will allow them!

Sorry if this is a silly question, but is using stuff like premade cake mix/brownie mix/etc acceptable?

Yes, you may absolutely use store-bought mixes. You don't have to make everything completely from scratch, but you can't buy already made cakes or brownies.

If I make plain scones from scratch based on this ACNH recipe, will it count as animal crossing themed even if they just look plain?

I was thinking that I'd allow entries based on ACNH food items, however this one is very plain and looks no different from regular scones. I think it would be better if you could find a way to dress them up a little bit to visually match the theme as well.

I would absolutely do this if I wasn't already baking cheesecake-on-a-stick for my boyfriend today.

too many sweets around, y'know.

 

[Minou]

I hope this is ok... Tried to make British scones for the first time, based on the ACNH plain scone recipe and added a little twist to it (strawberry jam) to make it fitting for the theme (chose red colour based on the red balloon collectible).

Here is my entry! I decided to do a non-bake dessert for mine. It’s an island (mound of ice cream with green M&M) surrounded by water (blue M&M). On the island are mushrooms (the mushroom cookies) with bear villagers (gummy bears) with a coconut tree in the middle (the straw cookie)

Bonus photo of trying to sort out the M&Ms by colour and having all the stuff assembled so the ice cream doesn’t melt too quickly D:

Ooh I know that ice cream brand...I love the blueberry one.

 

[Bob Zombie]

Here’s my entry, a two-layer carrot cake with homemade vanilla buttercream frosting wishing TBT a happy birthday! I do most of the cooking/baking here at home, including all the birthday cakes, EXCEPT apple pie and blueberry muffins (those are Fox’s recipes ).

Wish I could give everyone here a slice, we’ll make sure to toast for another 20 years of TBT!

Spoiler: Making Of

 

[Foreverfox]

As soon as I remembered that Apple Pie was in ACNH, and even more so after seeing the picture - I knew what I had to do. I make an Apple pie at least once every two weeks, and I’ve made one the last two weeks in a row now. It’s one of my favorite desserts to make, along with Blueberry Muffins. I wish you guys could taste this. I’ve never had a better Apple pie. In fact, I think I’ve ruined myself from being able to get it anywhere else but me making it.

Spoiler: Making of pie

Apple filling all mixed! Skipped the progress of the next step - it’s a secret

I wish I’d thought to get a picture of the dough as I made it, but I didn’t. But this is as I was rolling it out.

Lattice all cut!

I would have preferred a bit more filling, but last week I peeled 7 apples and only ended up needing 6. Today, I peeled 6 and wished I’d had 7. Oh well.

All set to go in the oven! I prefer to do a lattice AND streusel top. I mean, who doesn’t like both?

Spoiler: reference

 

[Suguri]

Looks like fun! IDK how I'm going to be able to make something with my lousy cooking prowess (I still need parental supervision T_T) but since I plan on participating in an many events as I can, I'll probably give it a shot, but I won't guarantee that I'm going to make an entry here.

 

[MrBox]

hi! I have a question, can I collab with my sibling who is also a TBT user?

 

[Giddy]

Me just waiting for my ingrediants I had to order online to come in time...

They should do, but the waiting is the hard part DX

 

[Kitsuragi]

oooh. i have some ideas, i'll have to get on this.

 

[IonicKarma]

Do animal crossing in game recipes count as animal crossing related? I saw it mentioned that for the simpler recipes we want to add something else to make it more unique. Just wan't sure if one of the dessert recipes count as animal crossing themed enough or not
