Super Bowl XLVII is in the his­tory books, March Mad­ness is on the dis­tant hori­zon, but what kind of a sport­ing chal­lenge can be found to fill the time in between? No prob­lem, said Com­mu­nity Library’s Head of Youth Ser­vices Fonda Kendrick. You can get out your favorite recipe, roll up your sleeves and par­tic­i­pate in the Com­mu­nity Library Cup­cake Chal­lenge for teens and adults.

“Since cup­cakes are very pop­u­lar right now, we thought we would give a Cup­cake Chal­lenge a try,” Kendrick said. “We have sev­eral good cook­books for cup­cakes here at the library, and there are also lots of ideas online for unusual cup­cake recipes. One of the books the library owns even shows you how to make cup­cakes that look like shoes.”

Kendrick said as part of the Cup­cake Chal­lenge con­tes­tants are asked to find not only a cup­cake recipe with a great fla­vor, but also to make cup­cakes that also have artis­tic, cre­ative appeal.

Com­mu­nity Library’s Cup­cake Chal­lenge will be held at 2 p.m. on Sat­ur­day, Feb­ru­ary 23. There will be two judg­ing cat­e­gories: one for Young Adults ages 12 to 18 and another for Adults ages 19 and on up. 

First place win­ners will receive $25 cash for Young Adults, Ama­zon gift card for adults, with the Young Adult prize donated by Kristi’s Bak­ery in Cen­ter­burg. There will be addi­tional prizes for sec­ond and third place winners.



“To par­tic­i­pate in the Com­mu­nity Library Cup­cake Chal­lenge con­tes­tants must reg­is­ter at the library’s cir­cu­la­tion desk to receive con­test rules,” Kendrick said. “And I’m really look­ing for­ward to see­ing the entries.”

Com­mu­nity Library is located at 44 Bur­rer Drive, Sunbury.
