Long time readers of my blog will know that I’m a big fan of baking and cupcakes; there is a reason why ‘cupcakes’ made it into the blogs title after all. For me baking offers an escape from my busy lifestyle, a chance to indulge my creative side and I love being able to share my baked goods with family and friends.
I’m so excited to finally be able to roll out a new project that I have been working on that’s targeted at all of you baking enthusiasts out there. If like me and you like to create healthier alternatives of naughtier bakes then this one is for you. The Healthy Baking Competition says exactly what it does on the tin. It’s all about healthier and lighter baking revolving around one key ingredient, margarine, which is great to use if you are trying to reduce your cholesterol.
This is your chance to get creative in the kitchen and get your bake on to win some amazing prizes – there will be 5 winners in total. Also, the 5 winning recipes will be converted into free downloadable recipe cards that will be available to all.
The main prize for the overall winner
A KitchenAid Classic Stand Mixer!!! 🙂
Prizes for the 4 runners up
- A £20 Lakeland voucher each
For your chance to take part in all of the baking fun and to get your hands on some fantastic prizes all you have to do is submit a healthy baked recipe which can come in cake, pie or tart form, I’m not fussy, but it must include margarine in the ingredients list and must include a photograph.
Important information
- All recipes must include margarine in the recipe list (not restricted by brand)
- A health focus must be obvious in all recipes submitted
- Recipes without accompanying photographs will not be accepted
- Submit recipes to celeryandcupcakes@gmail.com
- Entrants must follow Celery & Cupcakes on Facebook or Twitter
- Deadline for all recipe submissions is 20th April 2014 at 12pm BST
- Competition is only open to UK residents
All of your recipes will be judged by an independent panel and will take into account your creativity, innovation, use of ingredients and the healthy spin on your recipe. The winners are to be announced on 25th April on Celery and Cupcakes.
This is such a wonderful opportunity and will give you a chance to show off your creative genius in the kitchen. I have set up a Healthy Baking Competition board on Pinterest to which you can all pin your photos of your fantastic healthy baking recipes. Please also share your delicious photos on your own Twitter, Facebook and Instagram feeds tagging @celery_cupcakes and #HealthyBakingCompetition so that I can retweet them.
I cannot wait to see what you all come up with! 🙂
