6th Annual Power of Pink Challenge
Today kicks off my 6th Annual Power of Pink Challenge. Back in 2008, I wanted to find a way to help promote Breast Cancer Awareness during National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I came up with the Power of Pink Challenge to as a way to encourage fellow bloggers, bakers, and readers to think about Breast Cancer Awareness by making something PINK in their kitchen.
As you all know, breast cancer is a disease that has touched my life in more ways that I would like to admit. I have made it a personal goal of mine to try to make a difference on this front.
I have been saving pink recipes as I see them come up throughout the year. To check out some inspiration here are the Power of Pink Favorites on Foodgawker or my Power of Pink Posts.
Here are the rules for the challenge:
- Make something that is PINK โ use any ingredients you want
- Post a new post during the month of October on your blog (if you don’t have a blog, you can still participate, see below)
- Post your pink food by Midnight EST on October 31
- Include the logo and link back to this post in your post (please upload to your own server)
- Email me at Jen[at]beantownbaker[dot]com โ include:
- Your name
- Name of your blog
- Link to your post
- Picture (or permission to pull one out of your post)
If you donโt have a blog and would like to participate, just send me your information to be entered.
As always, Iโm offering a giveaway along with the challenge to one lucky participant. I will be choosing one of the participants at random and making a $100 donation to a charity of their choice. It can be breast cancer related or not.
Feel free to follow along on Twitter or Instagram by using #powerofpinkchallenge too!

Yum! I love cheesecake, I’ve never made it boozy though! ๐
This pie! Oh man, this looks incredible ๐ I bet it tastes perfect
Wow! The story about your mom was very touching. Both of my grandmothers were diagnosed with breat cancer and so breast cancer awareness month is very important to me. On a lighter note, this pie looks absolutely delicious. I stumbled upon your blog not too long ago, and as a fellow baker I really enjoy your posts!

Breast cancer has touched so many lives, it’s unreal. I hope you can join in my Power of Pink challenge this month by baking up something pink in your kitchen! Thanks for stopping by.
Definitely a colorful pie and enough tequila in it to make sure you keep the kids away from it. Looks like a winner!
Wow! It looks so nice, I would almost not even want to cut into it!
