Post a Comment$1 million is a helluva motivation to dig up Grandma's old recipes. We get Pillsbury in the UK, but no prizes like that!
I saw this on the food channel. Wow!
I had no idea the Bake-Off was still going strong. Tantalizing!
Thanks for the reminder! (^;^) I am registered at the Pillsbury website, but hadn't visited it in awhile. I had forgotten about the Bake-Off coming up and after reading this I'm already cranking recipes around in my head. I did enter my sugar cookie crust fruit pizza recipe one year with no luck. Then again, maybe this year? . . .
Very informative and clearly explained. I've seen some of the finalists in years passed, and YUM! I'd love to be a judge. ;-)
Nicely written :)
The prizes are certainly an incentive!
Interesting :)
Not much of a baker, but I agree this would be a fun opportunity for other bakers.
Patricia and all: 100 semi-finalists will be chosen who will all win a trip to Orlando, Florida in April 2010 for what I envision is the actual "bake-off."
