So you think you can eat fast?  Even yummy icing smothered minicakes from local bakery Smarty Cakes?

Eight boys and eight girls will face off on Saturday in a time-challenged eat off.  Each contestant will have to eat EIGHT MINI CUPCAKES with the fastest two boys and fastest two girls meeting in a winner-take-all challenge on Sunday.

Eight mini cupcakes? No problem you say?  Well here’s the catch.  They have to eat them with their hands behind their back.  Judges will be on hand to make sure no little fingers get into the pie, er cupcakes.

Everyone aged 7-10 can enter by sending an email to smartycakes@mail.com telling them why they think they can be champion.  Eight girls and eight boys will be selected by Smarty Cakes to participate.  To be eligible you must confirm you can be available to be at Nose Creek Park for 1pm on Saturday and 1pm on Sunday.

Oh…and the Airdrie Children’s Festival board of directors will be testing cupcakes prior to the event to ensure they are extremely tasty…hazards of the job!

Time: 1pm Saturday and finals at 1pm on Sunday
Location: Nose Creek Park Amphitheatre
