Ready? Set? Decorate!





Does your cake have what it takes? To find out, Wilton is challenging people across the U.S. and Canada to put their decorating skills to the test by entering creative cake creations in Wilton’s "Your Take on Cake" decorating contest.

Entries will be judged on creativity, appearance, technique and the overall use of materials. Winners will be chosen in each of five categories: kid birthdays, adult birthdays, baby/wedding showers, holidays and other (bar/bat mitzvah, weddings, anniversaries, etc.).

The "Best Overall" grand prize winner will receive a $5,000 cash prize and a trip to attend The Wilton School two-week Master Course for cake decorating in Darien, Ill. A winner and runner-up in each category will be awarded $100 and $50 in assorted Wilton products selected by Wilton, respectively.
