The majority of decorating must be edible, embellishments may be added as accent pieces only (in other words, you may not cover a cupcake with flowers or legos but you may use a small item on a cupcake such as a toothpick flag)
A time limit of exactly 60 minutes will be given to all teams simultaneously. Teams are to use their imagination, creativity, skills and talents to decorate one dozen cupcakes in whatever way they choose. Time will be called at 45 minutes, 30 minutes, 15 minutes, 10 minutes 5,4,3,2, minutes, 60 seconds, 30 seconds, 10-1 second.

We encourage some prep work to be done at home- you only have 60 min!
Icing/frosting may be store bought or homemade but ALL ingredients must be presented on the “CUPCAKE CARD”
Cupcake Cards
Each team will display a Cupcake Card (downloadable or available at check in) identifying team members and cupcake description and ingredients.
If you are making your own frosting from scratch, you may do so ahead of time, but have all ingredients listed on the Cupcake Card. If you used a mix, all ingredients must be listed from package. For instance, “Cherrybrook mix” would not be acceptable. But “Cherry brook mix (Confectionary sugar (contains cornstarch), natural cocoa powder, natural vanilla flavor, sea salt)” would be acceptable.
Each team must fill out the “tell us about yourself” section on the Cupcake Card. This will be read aloud to introduce your team to the audience- help us get to know you!!
While we highly encourage team spirit and support, No signs or excessive chanting etc will be accepted. This is a kids: event, kids are the competitors and all competitors will be encouraged. We will continue to be a supportive community, not losing site of our purpose- to raise awareness in a fun exhibition!
