Ready, set, bake — the Blanton Bake-Off is back.
The Blanton Museum of Art’s annual competition encourages local bakers to recreate the museum’s artworks in treat form.
Since starting in 2020, the effort has received more than 70 submissions recreating masterful works and even the Blanton’s museum itself.
The best part? Anyone can participate. Competitor categories include Under-18, Adult (Amateur), and Adult (Professional).
To join the competition, submit photos to pr@blantonmuseum.org or post your creation to Instagram or Facebook, tagging @BlantonMuseum and using the hashtag #BlantonBakeOff, by Wednesday, May 15. Remember to name the category you’re entering.
The entries will be put to a public vote on the Blanton’s social media pages starting Friday, May 17. Prizewinners will receive gift cards to Quack’s Bakery and Easy Tiger, plus a sustaining membership to the Blanton.
Already brainstorming? Take a look at the museum’s collections to get the ideas rolling.
Competitors from last year’s Bake-Off adapted a range of artworks into treats.
