Great Cincinnati Bake-Off takes place at CState on Oct. 20

Cincinnati State’s Midwest Culinary Institute kitchens will be the location for The Great Cincinnati Bake-Off celebration on Thursday, October 20, from 6 to 9 p.m.

Cincinnati Magazine is sponsoring the Great Bake-Off to recognize accomplishments by local professional and amateur bakers, and to give guests a chance to sample the best of the sweet and savory treats prepared for the competition.

MCI Chef Michael Vanfleet joined Cincinnati Magazine Event Manager Cecilia Rose to promote the Bake-Off earlier this week on the Fox 19 “Morning Show.” Click to watch Chef Vanfleet prepare cheese & raspberry croissants and to learn more about the Great Bake-Off.

Pastry experts will judge the entries and select the recipients of the “Golden Rolling Pin” award in each group.
