Sweet Surrender's Cupcake Recipe Contest

I know many of you love to bake and are super creative, so when Catherine, avid reader of this blog and passionate baker, asked me whether I thought my readers would be interested in a cupcake recipe contest, I knew you would.

Catherine's whole family left their day jobs and opened Sweet Surrender Cupcake & Cookie Café in Boynton Beach, Florida, almost a year ago. To celebrate the bakery's one-year anniversary, they're holding a recipe contest. This is where you come in.

Do you have a favorite go-to cupcake recipe? Submit your recipe to Sweet Surrender's contest for a chance to have your cupcake added to the lineup and named after you. If your recipe is chosen, you'll also win 10% of the first month's sales of your cupcake.


Here are the details:

All of the entries will be reviewed by Sweet Surrender owners Mick and Rosemary Tynski. The baking duo will select their top two recipes and make them for the café’s Grand Anniversary Celebration on Saturday, June 19, 2010. Free samples of the two cupcakes and score cards will be given out to guests, who will judge each on visual appeal, moistness, and flavor.

The cupcake that scores the highest overall will be the winner!

All recipe submissions should follow these guidelines:

• May not contain trans fats or artificial flavors
• Must be made from scratch entirely (no premade mixes or frostings)
• One entry per person please
• All entries must be received by June 4, 2010 June 13, 2010. The deadline has been extended!

Email your recipe to Recipe@SweetSurrenderBoyntonBeach.com, and include your name, mailing address, phone number, email address, name of recipe, separate ingredient lists for frosting and cupcake batter, and complete preparation/baking directions.

And the nitty gritty stuff:

The two semi-finalists will be notified via email or phone no later than June 16, and the winner will be notified no later than June 22.

Just like our own fine-tuned cupcake recipes, we will not disclose the contents of any recipes that are sent to us, including the winning recipe.

By entering a recipe, each contestant agrees that if their recipe is selected as the winner, the recipe will be used by Sweet Surrender exclusively and the winning contestant may not give or sell the recipe to any other business for resale. In addition, the winner may not publish the recipe on any Web site or in any publication.

By entering a recipe, the creator guarantees that it is original, however, Sweet Surrender cannot be held responsible for recipes submitted that are not original.

I hope you creative bakers out there will submit a recipe. I'm hoping I'll have time to come up with a recipe to enter too! Good luck!


Also, thank you all so much for all your comments and kind thoughts on my previous post. I hope you and your families have a wonderful, happy, fun, and safe Memorial Day Weekend!
