Got a sweet tooth? This Saturday St. Pete will be celebrating "National Cupcake Day" in style.

From noon - 3 pm.,  will host the second annual Great St. Pete Cupcake Contest. 

For those wishing to compete in this tasty challenge, you can print off a form online. It is $15 to enter the contest, but it is free to attend.  A minimum of 12 delicious cupcakes are required for entry so that the judges can taste each submission.

According to a Morean news release:

Cupcakes will be judged on icing/frosting, flavor/texture and presentation/creativity for a total of 50 points, which allows plenty of room for edible creativity. The winner will receive bragging rights around St. Petersburg and the coveted handmade glass cupcake trophy made by our own resident artisans at the Glass Studio & Hot Shop. The winning cupcake will enjoy fame and fortune as a celebrity on the Morean website, Facebook page and city-wide media. Grand Prize winner announced at 3pm.

Although the cupcake trophy will be the coveted prize of the evening, there is also a People’s Choice award voted on by the attending audience. Participants in the contest are encouraged to bring sufficient quantities for the public to taste. Votes will be tallied and winner of the People’s Choice Award announced at 3pm.

For those attending, bring cash to "vote" for the People's Choice Award. Each $1 will count as one vote with the proceeds going to the Morean Arts Center.
