Entries submitted (more than one entry is allowed) are to include detailed recipe descriptions for a dessert featuring Michigan products. Any style of dessert will be accepted – pastry, pie, cake, chocolate, fruit or others, featuring Michigan products.
The Taste: The “Taste of Michigan” Dessert Competition on Saturday, April 20th, will expect chosen teams to present approximately 300 "sample-sized" (2-3 oz.) portions of their selected entry recipe to guests from around Michigan and the Midwest, as well as to a team of judges.
There will be a number of MI wineries/artisan brews represented as well. The general public will purchase tickets that will be used for both food and beer/wine tastes, and will also fill out a ballot to vote for their favorites (People's Choice Award) for the center-of-the plate Chefs competition, Michigan dessert, and MI college/university categories.
Teams will be provided a 10’x10’ booth space, and two tables, for service. Some electrical access
will be available. Each team is responsible to furnish all recipe ingredients, and cooking equipment. Some host property equipment may be available.
Selection: Teams will be chosen to compete in the "Taste of Michigan" Dessert competition from the recipe descriptions submitted, and will be determined by a panel of Chef judges, based on a combination of entry date (first-come, first-served) and recipe entry quality/variety/creativity of products presented, as well as to provide an overall balance of entries to be provided to our guests. Multiple recipes are may be submitted by each establishment, but only one will be chosen. The focus of this competition will be the use of indigenous Michigan products. Teams that have competed in past Chef Challenge competitions get first priority in the limited number of competition slots.
