PrintNordicWare Annual Competition!!
For the third time (it's only the third year that they have been doing this) I am going to enter the NordicWare Bundts Across America competition, and now I feel inundated with too many ideas!
Is anyone else entering or thinking of it? Have you entered in the past? What did you make?
And how do you narrow down your options? I mean, I have participated in many competitions before, but I always seem to run into this problem initially. I just have too many ideas and textures, and flavor possibilities. how do you decide?

I entered the NordicWare contest a year or two ago with what I *seriously* thought was the most brilliant recipe ever. The problem with mine was that it was 100% homemade and from scratch. It really is a great recipe. The winning recipe that year was from a boxed cake with canned cherries spiked with a bit of wine.
I'm serious and I have lost complete faith in these types of competitions.

I totally understand where you are coming from.
That most famous Nordicware Tunnel of Fudge recipe came in second in the 17th Pillsbury Bake-Off Contest in 1966.
I have always felt that the baker was SusanLucci-ed out of a solid victory.
The grand prize in the contest went to a bread made with cheese spread and dry onion soup mix.

(Is there any chance of getting you to share your recipe?
There is no way on earth it can even stoop to the level of the boxed cake. And, if past history is any judge, you may yet have a solid winner on your hands.)
