DiscussionsThe Latest & Greatest from Pillsbury

Does anyone know when the next Pillsbury Bake-Off is? I'm really curious when the entry process starts

Well, if this site can't let us find-out, something isn't working right, nes pa??? However, my tip would be to go to FoodNetwork.com and try looking it up there, as they ALWAYS televise the cook-offs, You'll certainly be able to read about the latest ones, there, some are entree's, some are deserts, some are for "kids", oh there are many more than I could've dreamed up, which I think is really cool? Good Luck, I'll ask right here and if I get an aswer, I'll let y'all know, okie dokie??!!** from Tucson, AZ

I, too would like to know when the next bake off starts. I have been to this site several times and cant seem to find out when you can start submitting recipes.

Hello again, well I emailed them that question back last November. The reply, to the best of my holey (as apposed to holy) memory is, they said, they didn't have the date yet, but they'd let us know as soon as they had one set up!????? I personally have never ever tried for this, but I would guess, there has to be cook-offs before hand, maybe???? please help me out if anyone knows these answers, ok??? OR, do you just send in your recipe, with photo, I reckon, and go from there??? Ok, so as I'm typing this I see a contact us button, re ??'s or concerns about their products - I think bake off qualifies as one of those, don't y'all??? Anyway, I WISH ALL OF YOU CONTESTENTS THE VERY BEST OF LUCK, SKILL AND PERSISTANCE!!  GOD BLESS YOU ALL, YOU HELP THE REST OF US LOOK GOOD AT HOME AND WE THANK YOU FOR IT!  GO FOR IT, GIVE IT EVERYTHING YOU'VE GOT, JUST REMEMBER, TAKING SUGGESTIONS IS NOT A BAD THING!  WE CAN ALWAYS TRY SOMETHING NEW OR DO SOMETHING DIFFERANTLY, RIGHT?? WHY NOT, IT MIGHT TURN OUT WONDERFUL, OR SPARK A NEW IDEA??? That's my pep talk, for right now anyhoo!!

My guess is the new contest will open around January but possibly a bit earlier.  Keep checking the Pillsbury site.

I was a finalist at this years bakeoff and my recollection of the process was the entry period was sometime in January and ended the last week of April.  If you are selected you are notified in the fall, either the end of September or the beginning of October.  Then the Bake Off even takes place the following April, in 2010.

Dear jessica, look at the very top of this page, in the brown area.  You see the categories, recipes, products, and then bake-off.  Click there and you will find all the info you need.  I did see that you must register by april 20, 2009.  Hope this helps and the very best of luck.  Hope I get to try whatever recipes you enter. ldbayou

Hi rubypoet007 ( I like your creative user name!)

I agree- the best meals I make have been slightly altered by critiques! 

So, because the contest is so BIG- each contest covers a 2 year span. The 44th Bake-Off is still accepting applications until April 20, 2009 (like Idbayou said).  http://www.Pillsbury.com/bakeoff/about-the-contest/how-do-i-enter/
