Raisin and Spice Scone Competition »
In Chicago, we’re just beginning to emerge from our winter-long hibernation and there’s no better way to celebrate that than with delicious breakfast pastries. With the warm weather turning everything green again, it’s hard not to get in the St. Patrick’s Day spirit in March. Keep the smile in those Irish eyes until the very end of the month with Pastry Chicago’s Second Annual Raisin Scone Competition. With a little old-fashioned luck and a great recipe, you could be taking home incredible prizes from KitchenAid.

Nut Brittle Competition »
Sweet, salty, crunchy, and open for interpretation: a nut brittle is a classic type of candy that has it all. In traditional recipes, shards of delicious, crackly caramel encase salty peanuts making it one of the most addictive and imitated treats of all time. Whether you’re revamping your grandpa’s famous recipe or experimenting with a new twist, join Pastry Chicago for our first ever Nut Brittle Competition at Treasure Island Foods.

Sixth Annual Amateur Gingerbread House Competition »
The City of Chicago is known for being a destination for foodies of all types but it’s never truly been this delicious. For Pastry Chicago’s Sixth Annual Gingerbread Competition, we invite you to go beyond traditional cottages and create tasty skyscrapers, museums, public spaces, and other landmarks from around Chicago that would make Hansel and Gretel drool. Fashion your best gingerbread recipe and sweet decorations into your favorite, iconic Chicago destination for a chance to win the best baking equipment from KitchenAid.
All contestants and attendees will be able to enjoy an educational demonstration by a Chef Instructor from The French Pastry School of Kennedy-King College. If you’d like to attend without competing, please RSVP for the event by writing to info@pastrychicago.org with your name, email, and phone number.
