Overview

No need to wait for October to enjoy frightening foods. In the Deceptive Desserts contest we want you to bake something that makes people question whether they should take a bite or take cover! Renowned baker Christine McConnell is judging and providing prizes, so be sure to bring your A game.

Up for grabs we have McConnell’s new cookbook, Deceptive Desserts, a Wilton 48-piece decorating set with caddy, Canon EOS Rebel T5, revolving cake stands and much more. Share your sweets masquerading as savory dishes, fondant creatures, fake-out food, and other scary or surprising desserts.
