I haven't heard from the Bakeoff folks (if I was going to hear it would have been by 12/15), so I have to try again in 2003 for the 2004 Bakeoff. http://www.plaudersmilies.de/cry.gif They don't run it every year. IN THE MEANTIME, Nestles' has their own baking contest with a deadline of 12/31, so I'm going to ship off a couple of my recipes that didn't make the Pillsbury cut.
What have I learned? These guys want innovation and wide appeal. I will admit that I submitted 2 mincemeat recipes, but that does not have wide appeal. They WERE good recipes, if I do say so myself. I'm going to keep trying since I've been bitten by the bug as was our Aimee with her contests. I may post a couple that I dreamed up except for the ones I'll send to Nestles. I did a Cookie Crust Caramel Cranapple Pie, a Cookie Crust Mincemeat bar, a Pumpkin Mincemeat Cake, a Cookie Crust Choco-Cherry bar, and three others that I'm going to save for other contests. I found that sugar cookie dough is very versitile(spelling). Man, this was an EXPENSIVE project! Cost me about $40.00 a pop every time I baked!
Oh, well. No guts, no glory.

Maybe you'll have better luck with Nestles. Or maybe you can publish your own baking book..."From the Kitchen of Honeybunch" or "Honeybunch's 101 Most Scintillating and Decadent Recipes" I'd buy it!
