Twenty-four contestants entered the 6th Annual Ithaca Cupcake Baking Contest (Virtual Edition)! These pastry chefs displayed their joyful and creative approaches to baking, enjoyed experimenting and learning in their kitchens, highlighted food products from the beautiful Finger Lakes region, and celebrated connections with family and friends.
Now the judging begins! Throughout the week, The Sophie Fund will publish posts here and on social media spotlighting all the cupcake contest entries. On Saturday October 23, the judges will announce the winners in an online Live Event. Stay tuned!
The Sophie Fund thanks our expert judges for supporting the contest again this year!
