Cake by Courtney 4th Annual CAKE MARCH MADNESS

You know my love of cake runs deep, but did you also know my love of basketball does too? Three years ago I decided to pair the two together and create a Cake March Madness Bracket.

I’m excited to see how it goes this year!

How to Play

• Download the bracket below.
• Look through each division and pick a winner from each pairing. You’ll then move those winners to the next round and pick a winner from that pairing. Keep going until you have a champion.
• You’ll fill out the entire bracket – GUESSING which cake will win each pairing and which cake you think will win overall. (The winner of each matchup is decided by voting in my Instagram stories – so you’re guessing which cake most people will vote for).
• Once you make your guess for the winning cake, COMMENT BELOW WITH YOUR WINNER. This gives us a time stamp to make sure you entered before the competition starts on March 18th – which means we won’t count entries posted after March 18th 12 am MST.

How It Works

• Starting next week (March 18th), I’ll post the cake pairings in my Instagram stories for everyone to vote on.
• Winning cakes will be chosen from that voting process (BY YOU) and I’ll announce in IG stories and here on the blog the updates so you can make sure to check out how you’re doing on your bracket.
• Once we get to the final winner, I’ll take a look at your guesses below and from those who guessed correctly, I’ll RANDOMLY SELECT ONE WINNER.

What Does the Winner Get?

• The randomly selected winner will receive BOTH of my cookbooks, access to my 3-Month Cake Camp, a cake tee, and a set of my icing spatulas from Shop.CakebyCourtney.com.

Reminder:

• Print the bracket
• Make your selections
• Comment below with what you cake you think will be the overall winner BEFORE MARCH 18th.
• Check out stories next week to start the voting process
• Have fun!
