Earlier this year, I featured a photo of a batch of cupcakes draped in Palestinian flags. It’s time we celebrate Palestine even more! I’ve decided to put together a small contest in which participants must bake, make, or create Palestine-themed sweets. The winner will receive a handcrafted Palestinian flag from the Gaza Strip. It’s a simple prize but because it was put together by the hands of people we admire for their fortitude and strength, the flag carries a great deal of significance.
The video below explains a bit further, but the rules are simple. Design a cupcake or cake, snap a photograph, and send it to smpalestine@gmail.com. The deadline is December 15, 2011, and the winner will be announced the following day. Have fun and I can’t wait to see the final products!
A brief suggestion: I urge participants to send the actual cupcakes too, just in case.
Note: The contest is now closed. See the results here.
Now, will you be baking something? I vote you have to.
I saw this because it was posted on the facebook wall of Arizona State University(ASU)’s SJP. Sami, you have quite the following!
Great idea for the contest, can’t wait to see all the baked goods of the contestants!
HAHA
1. I find this hilarious.
2. Um, Sami, I think how the cupcake tastes is a very important part of baking!
