Are you a pie-oneer?
The word desserts spelled backward is stressed, but there’s no need to stress this contest.
If you are the winner, your charity of choice will receive $1.50 from each winning dessert sold, for one year, at both of our restaurants. As a winner, you will receive a $100 Flancer’s gift certificate and a super cool trophy. Last year’s winner was Jesse Kolman and his Chocolate Peanut
Butter Pretzel Pie. His charity is at www.nokidhungry.org. This year, we are on track to raise $5,000 for No Kid Hungry.
The deadline for submitting your recipe is Oct. 16. Simply send your recipe, along with a dessert photo, which would be helpful but is not essential, as well as your charity of choice and a brief description of why your dessert is so good to jeff@flancers.com.
If your dessert is selected, we will ask for a baked sample, for our judges, on Sunday, Oct. 19, at our Mesa restaurant. The winner will be chosen based on the following criteria:
- Visual appeal of dessert
- Taste of dessert
- Ease of recipe
- Readily available ingredients
- Originality
Our past winners’ charities have been beloved little Penny, from Mesa, who needed a heart transplant; the Susan G. Komen for the Cure; Gabriel’s Angels; and AZ Brain Food. Each year, we raised thousands of dollars for these charities. Let‘s raise some money for your favorite charity.
This year, Flancer’s received honorable mention in a national sandwich contest.
