SnackShots #3: Muffin
By Michelle | April 7, 2008
Switch on your cookers, set up your mixers and slide on your oven mitts; we’re baking this month at SnackShots! The beauty of the humble muffin is that it’s so versatile and almost any ingredient is agreeable with the baked bun; from pumpkin and fresh fruit to chocolate chips. It’s a very creative theme this month, so let your imagination run wild. Small muffins, big muffins, dark muffins, light muffins, healthy muffins, decadent muffins, gluten-free muffins, anything goes!
What’s the difference between a muffin and cupcake? A muffin contains less sugar and doesn’t have icing on top, in other words it’s healthier. Looking for inspiration? Click here and here .
You don’t necessarily need to bake the muffin yourself. Maybe you discovered a glorious muffin at your local bakery or you just can’t get enough of a Starbucks muffin and would like to share it with the world.
If you have an undying love for muffins, write about it. Just maybe you’ll win the Word4Word writing award.
What Must I Do?
Take a photo of your muffin.
Pictures should be no more than 400px in length or width.
Only one photo per person or blog is allowed.
The deadline is on 6 May 2008.
Please send an email to michelle AT greedygourmet DOT com and include the following:
- Your name
- The name and URL of your blog
- The name of your dish OR a descriptive title of your photo
- Which camera and lens you used
- The permalink to your entry posting with a link to Snackshots’ entry details, i.e. this page.
If you don’t have a blog, you can still participate; just email us your entry with a photo attached.
Muffin should be the main (50% or more) subject in your dish/photo.
What Happens After That?
A roundup of all entries will be posted a few days later. Readers will be able to vote for their favourite entry. A panel of judges will judge all entries and the winners will be announced soon after.
