The “Write” RecipeThe key ingredient to any tasty treat is
the glue that holds it all together…
The “T” (the actual cake) is the glue that holds the entire masterpiece
together.
The “T”opic and “T”ransition sentence lets your audience know what they will be enjoying without actually saying “this cake used ½ cup of sugar, 3 cups of flour, 2 egg beaters—”…you get the idea.
Instead, it uses its strong flavors to make a claim about it’s flavor and ingredients.

Let’s Look at Last Year’s Finalists…
With his admirable example, Doc reveals to Peekay and readers alike that true knowledge is not learned from books, but instead, stems
from what the mind already knows.
Through her struggle to find love in a house full of pain, Lily
shows readers that family is defined not by a roof but by a
relationship with oneself.
The “Write” Recipe.Yet another key ingredient to any tasty treat is the little extra’s that add flavor
and enhance the foundation….
The “E” (fabulous filling) is the necessary “filling” that makes your
cake anything but average, and your claim anything but false.
The “E”xample sentence supports your original cake (or claim) and makes it taste that much better…without it would be too plain!

Let’s Look at Last Year’s Finalists…Doc explains to Peekay that a “brain has two functions; it is a place for original thought, but also it is a reference library,” reinforcing the idea that true knowledge comes from what is
already known within (Courtenay 102).
August helps Lily to realize that all people must “find a mother inside {themselves}…even if
{they} already have a mother, {they} still have to find this part
of {themselves} inside” (Kidd 201).
The “Write” Recipe.The V.I.P. ingredient that puts the icing
on the cake is analysis!
The “A” (icing on the cake) is the critical element that transforms a
plain cake into a delectable masterpiece, leaving everyone’s
palate satisfied.
The “A”nalysis sentences are vital to any recipe because they offer your own personal wisdom, insight, and ideas, further evaluating how your example justifies your original claim…or why your filling compliments the frosting.

Let’s Look at Last Year’s Finalists…Knowledge, then, doesn’t come from teacher’s lessons or textbooks, but from the information
deep inside us, information that can be discovered with the right experience and
proper exploration.
Like Lily, those struggling to find a place in their family must first
overcome the struggle to make peace with themselves. A person must be
confident in their own identity in order to become an intricate piece to a
whole puzzle; they must believe that the piece fits, and then, with true ease
and minimal effort, it will.
Now, young grasshopper, show that cake who is
boss.
Our Billy’s going to be
the next William
Cakespeare…I just know
it!
Aw man, Billy always
gets the best
assignments! I want to
bake a writing cake
for Mrs. Sullivan’s
class!
Mmm..meat.
