On Saturday, more than 80 novice and professional bakers hope to whisk attendees away during the 8th Annual Great St. Pete Cupcake Contest. The competition runs from noon to 3 p.m. at the Morean Center for Clay.
Asked to enjoy their cupcakes on-site, ages 5 and up have five ballots to use when casting their votes for the sweet creations most deserving of the People’s Choice Award; additional ballots cost $1 each.
A panel of judges also crowns winners in the contest’s Professional, Novice, Specialty (for gluten-free and vegan recipes) and Youth/Teen (for bakers 10 to 16) categories.
