2025 Chrysler Museum of Art – 7th Annual Bake Off Registration (Norfolk)

December 7, 2025 - December 16, 2025

Tis the Season to Bake Sweet Treats | Saturday, December 27, 2025

Are you the secret weapon at every Bake Sale?  Do you have dreams of participating in The Great British Bake Off?  Well, get ready for the most creative baking contest in Hampton Roads! In this “just for fun” baking battle, bakers (individuals or teams) can show off their skills with pies, cakes, pastries, cookies, or bars inspired by works of art in the Chrysler Museum’s collection.

With the Museum’s dazzling Poinsettia Tree in the backdrop, Bake-Off contestants will present their baked goods to guest judges and the public for an opportunity to win prizes and bragging rights. There are three categories of participation to choose from (student, amateur, professional)–and a People’s Choice award.

Now a featured event at the Chrysler Museum’s Wonder Winterland, there will be a ton of good tidings and joy for contestants and their guests.  Live music, artmaking, storytelling, art chats, cider and hot chocolate and more will fill the day. And, to keep it super casual, everyone is invited to wear pajamas and close out the day at a screening of Happy Feet II in the Museum’s Kaufman Theater. Join us!

Show Off Your Skills: Sign Up Today!

To participate as a baker, please review the directions and submit your registration below.

How it works:
1) Participants select a piece of art from the Museum’s Collection: Permanent Collection | Ancient Art, Modern Masters | Chrysler Museum of Art. (Participants can be individuals or groups).
2) Participants recreate the selected work of art through a baked good creation. The baked good can be either a Bread, Cookie, Cake, or Miscellaneous Sweet. (Note, these entries are not tasted, but judged on appearance).
3) On Saturday, December 27, participants will bring their creations to the Chrysler Museum.
4) Local celebrity judges begin assessing each entry for its creativity, appearance, and level of difficulty.
5) Entries with the top three scores in each category (students, amateur, professional) will be announced and prizes awarded.
