Can we enter the Pillsbury Bake Off?
 
Why not? I've been thinking about entering it for years. Is it time?
 
I don't see why not... I think you are not allowed to work for any Pillsbury company or be a professional chef.

Your entry had to be in by April but I thought about starting on some recipes.

It just sounds so interesting

Maybe we could share ideas

There is a lady in the area here that enters EVERY contest like that - she has won 2nd-10th NUMEROUS times!
 
A couple years ago, a PC consultant was in the Pillsbury Bake-Off Finals - using a PC recipe for Strawberry Bruschetta - except she modified it a little and used blackberries or something.......can't remember, but I remember thinking at the time that I wondered how she could legally do that? I guess she modified the recipe enough that it wasn't considered stealing the copyright.
 
I've often wondered how much you have to tweak a recipe in order to call it your own.

A recent host of mine is in the finals for the one coming up in October. She will find out then is she will get to travel and cook/bake-off with the final 10 (I think). It is pretty cool!! She was an awesome host (had a $1200 show)!!

It is my understanding that you have to change or add more than two ingredients in order to make it your own. But don't quote me on that.

be sure to remind her that you have some great new stainless steel cookware, as well as other great new products, that she can buy with her prize $$:D :D
