Duncan Hines Makes Its Hollywood Debut ….AND YOU’RE INVITED!
Mountain Lakes, NJ (June 2010) – Duncan Hines announces that this year they will be the official dessert sponsor of the 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards and Creative Arts Awards Governors Ball. In the spirit of this excitement, Duncan Hines invites their biggest supporters, bakers across the U.S., to enter the “Duncan Hines Red Carpet Cupcake Challenge” contest.
Duncan Hines is asking all creative bakers to submit their most decadent cupcakes for a chance of a lifetime. The winner will have their delicious cupcake creation sampled by the Emmy winners, celebrities and guests who will all be in attendance at this year’s Performer’s Nominees Reception on August 27th. However, the red carpet doesn’t stop there, as the winner will also receive a trip for two to Los Angeles, California and two tickets to Fans in the Stands, the best seat in the house for all the pre-Emmy, red carpet excitement.
Here is how it works, contestants can enter their Emmy award-winning photographs and cupcake recipes using a Duncan Hines product on DucanHines.com now through July 21, 2010. Even though the contest ends July 21st voting continues till July 28, 2010. Visitors can go online and vote for their favorite cupcake recipe and photo. The recipes with the highest number of votes will enter the Top 10 phase. The Grand Prize winner is then selected by both Pinnacle Foods Group and celebrity judges based on creativity, ease of preparation, and taste. The winner will be announced on August 3, 2010.
“We are thrilled to invite our passionate baking consumers to share this experience with Duncan Hines,” says Lora Van Velsor, vice president of Marketing for Pinnacle’s Duncan Hines Food division. “Duncan Hines was a real person who stood for superior quality and today we still celebrate Duncan Hines’ inventive spirit through innovative programs like the “Duncan Hines Red Carpet Cupcake Challenge” and sponsorships like the 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards and Governors Ball,” continues Van Velsor.
Before Fodor’s and Zagat, there was Hines. At a time when there was no such thing as restaurant critics and ratings, Duncan was onto something new. Four little words would come to have significant importance to restaurants all across the country: “Recommended by Duncan Hines.”
Duncan spent years discovering new trends in food and sharing them with his expanded following of “foodies.” His reputation for honesty and reliability were two of the most important ingredients in his recipe for success. These qualities lead to what Duncan Hines stands for today. Today, the Duncan Hines brand still celebrates the man’s inventive spirit through a relentless commitment to quality and innovation.
