The total number of entrants anticipated nationwide is 200.

Whether you’re singing “Happy Birthday” or celebrating a job well done, cake is a great way to get the party started.

Calling all cake decorators: Show off your decorating skills in our Party Cakes photo and video contest. One lucky (and talented) winner will take the cake…a prize of $500!

How to Enter: Film yourself decorating the cake, then snap a photo of your finished creation. Upload both your video and photo in the entry form. (Oh, and dig into that cake, too.)

Judging: All entries must meet the Contest requirements. A team of Taste of Home staff members will judge the entries and select 4 winners based on the following criteria:
Originality – 30%;
Creativity – 30%;
Technique – 20%;
Overall Appeal – 20%.

In the event of a tie, the one with the higher score in Creativity will win. Grand Prize winner may have their dessert included on the cover of a Taste of Home publication.
