The Susquehanna Valley Chamber of Commerce (SVCC) in Columbia is seeking bakers to enter a cupcake contest to be held in Columbia's Locust Street Park on Saturday, June 19.


Setup will begin at 9:30 a.m., and judging will start at 10 a.m. Judges from The Flour Child, The Daily Grind and Columbia Borough will sample cupcakes and rate them based on appearance and flavor. Awards will be given in two categories, bakers 16 and under and bakers over 16. The winner in each category will receive a prize package valued at $75.

Following the judging and awards ceremony, cupcakes will be sold to the public. Bakers are asked to provide a minimum of four dozen cupcakes and must agree to sell them for a set price. All money collected from the cupcake sale will be shared by the Columbia, Wrightsville and Maytown food banks.

Interested bakers are asked to fill out an application form and submit it along with an entry fee to SVCC.. For more information or an application, interested persons may call the SVCC at 684-5249
