Our awesome state of Michigan turns 176 on January 26th, 2013, and the Awesome Mitten wants to celebrate! We believe that the most important part of any celebration is the dessert. So, to celebrate the 176th year of our great state, we invite you to create a birthday dessert and enter it into Michigan’s Birthday Bake-Off for the chance to win some cool prizes!
We’ve separated into this into two divisions: professional and general public.
