Get your timed tickets to taste and help choose this year's People's Choice Award Winners at the 10th Annual Great St. Pete Cupcake Contest The Morean Arts Center needs your help! 2020 had other plans, so we were unable to celebrate the proper 10th Anniversary of this amazing and sickeningly sweet event in support of the Morean Arts Center. So here we are, 11 years later, celebrating a decade of locally crafted culinary masterpieces, in a city-wide search for St. Petersburg’s BEST CUPCAKE! The contest will be hosted at the Morean Center for Clay located in the Warehouse Arts District at 420 22nd Street South – Saturday, August 28 from 12pm-3pm First and Second Place awards will be given in ALL categories including Novice, Professional, Youth/Teen (Ages 10-16), Specialty (Gluten Free or Vegan) as well as the People’s Choice. The People’s Choice award will be voted on by the attending audience via digital survey. Votes will be tallied and winner of the People’s Choice Award announced at midnight on the 28th. Timed Admission tickets can be pre-purchased via Eventbrite and will include UNLIMITED votes and a to-go container for mini-cupcakes (12-pack or 24-pack offered per party). Tickets are priced with a premium rate on the first hour (12-1pm) guaranteeing access to some of the most popular flavors and beautifully decorated cupcakes. Morean Members receive exclusive discounted rates on the 12-1pm premium hour. All contestants are required to bring a minimum quantity of mini-sized cupcakes, so ALL attendees will have plenty to choose from during the entire event. We ask that all attendees please enjoy their cupcakes OUTSIDE, at HOME, on a PLANE, in a BOX or on a TRAIN. Just NOT inside the Morean Center for Clay.
