$10,000 grand prize in "Bake It Possible" Contest
TORONTO, Oct. 11, 2016 /CNW/ - Are you an innovative baker with a creative flair? Or perhaps just a regular guy or gal who likes to try out 'hacks' in the kitchen? Then you could have a shot at the $10,000 grand prize in the first-ever Canadian baking competition presented by Pillsbury and Betty Crocker.
"We're looking to shine a spotlight on the best new recipes made with Pillsbury or Betty Crocker products," said Alexander Benedet, Marketing Director, Meals and Baking, at General Mills Canada. "Our products are so versatile and easy to use that we've seen them in hundreds of unique creations on recipe sites like BuzzFeed Tasty and Tip Hero. Every day, in kitchens across the country, baking enthusiasts of all skill levels are already creating with Pillsbury and Betty Crocker. We wanted to give these people a chance to showcase their unique creations and share with other food lovers through Bake it Possible."
Participating in the Bake It Possible contest is easy. To enter, bake your tastiest creation using one of the participating Pillsbury or Betty Crocker products, take a photo or video and post it on Instagram or Twitter using the hashtag #BakeItPossible, or submit to BakeItPossible.com.
The Top 50 semi-finalists will be selected based on taste appeal, WOW factor and creativity. From there, they'll be whittled down to the Top 10 based on those criteria PLUS simplicity of the recipe.
The Top 10 finalists will have their recipes turned into instructional recipe videos and will have a chance to show off their baking prowess as they compete in a live bakeoff in Toronto in March, judged by a celebrity panel.
The winning recipe will be featured on TV, in stores and online, with the grand prize winner also taking home $10,000.
