Tens of thousands of recipes were entered in the 43rd Pillsbury Bake-Off® Contest, and after months of testing and tasting, the Pillsbury Kitchens are proud to share the 100 finalist recipes. The creative cook behind one of these recipes will win the $1,000,000 Grand Prize at the Bake-Off® Contest in April.

Everything’s bigger in Dallas, and that goes for the 43rd Pillsbury Bake-Off® Contest, too! The finalists are preparing for their trip to Dallas, Texas, April 13-15. Once settled in at their kitchen workstation, finalists have enough ingredients to prepare their recipe three times: once for photography, once for judges, and a third time, if needed. Food-savvy judges meet in a well-guarded room, away from the finalists, to make their winning decisions.

The lovely Fairmont Hotel in Dallas plays host to the 100 finalists as they put their winning recipes to the test. The excitement and drama build as these creative cooks prepare their recipes for the panel of food experts who will choose the prize winners.

America’s Favorite Recipe Sweepstakes has ended. The finalist who’s recipe received the most votes will win America’s Favorite Recipe Award.
