First, map the battlefield—your kitchen—into zones: prep, bake, cooling, and judging. In round one, let each team gather intel: they check their ingredients and tools, like scouting a map. Round two is the deployment: they place their dough in ovens, keeping the same temperature and timing for all. In round three, the skirmish begins—bake, then flip, then add frosting or toppings, each move timed and measured. Finally, the post‑battle assessment: judges taste, score, and give feedback; the team with the best strategic execution wins. Keep the rules rigid, the timing precise, and the stakes clear—you’ll have a bake‑off that feels like a well‑planned skirmish.
