Baking Contest Registration Here

Do people drool over your maple baking items? You need to enter your baking into the contest! You must partner with a Manitoulin Maple Syrup Producer and both your baking item and the maple syrup will be judged (separately). You will be expected to sell your product so make as much as you wish to sell.
Note: Home bakers will be provided access to a commercial kitchen to make their product so it can be sold to the public.
