Cakes & Cupcakes Recipe Contest

Cakes & Cupcakes


Short. Tall. Big. Small. Show us your sweet side with cakes that make everyone happy. Maybe they're short and stunning, in the form of cupcakes. Or perhaps square is cool and rectangular spectacular. From sheet cakes to birthday treats, we want your best recipe.

To enter, simply send us your very own cake or cupcake recipe and include that special frosting or filling that makes it extra special. Aim for 12 ingredients or fewer and you could win $500—and claim sweet victory! (Winners will be announced in a future issue.)

Show us your best original recipe in these categories:

  • Great Cakes. Make it a celebration cake, a bake sale beauty or a 9-by-13 pan of joy. Or show us your best bet for the birthday boy or girl. Don't forget the frostings—glazes, icings, flavorful fillings and a flourish or two, if you wish. Think happy!
  • Cool Cupcakes. Do you make jumbo, regular or bite-size versions? This is your category. Show us your delicious bites with big flavor and a special flourish. Think sprinkles, candies, berries and beyond.

You may enter more than one recipe. Be specific with measurements, directions and the size of cans, packages and pans so others can successfully make your recipe. Include a few words about the origin of your recipe. Share any compliments it's received, plus any variations you recommend. If any duplicates are received, the entries with the earliest postmarks will be considered.
