7th Annual Power of Pink Challenge

Like most things this year, I’m a little late announcing my 7th Annual Power of Pink Challenge, but that’s what I’m here for today. 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.

As I have in the past few years, I will be making a $100 donation to the charity of one winner’s choosing. I have included more options for entering this year since I am announcing the challenge so late in the month.

As always, you can enter by making something PINK and posting about it on your own blog during the month of October (be sure to post the logo and link back to this post). This year, anyone who makes something pink, you’ll get two entries for the prize.

You will get one entry if you find an old post on your blog that’s pink food, update the post with a link to this page, and send me the info listed below.

You can also get one entry for every social media share on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter that shares this post. Please tag me in your posts as well and use #PowerofPink.

Thanks in advance for everyone participating in the Power of Pink Challenge. I look forward to seeing all the entries come in over the next couple of weeks!

For each entry, send the following information to jen@beantownbaker.com

Your name
Name of your blog
Link to your post or social media share
Picture (or permission to pull one out of your post), if applicable

If you don’t have a blog and would like to participate, just send me your information to be entered.

Three ingredients? Amazing, I can’t wait to try this for myself!

  If you make it, let me know what beer/fruit combo you use. I can’t wait to try different combinations.

I just made it last night and used frozen strawberries and Shock Top Honeycrisp Apple Wheat. Amazing!!! So creamy without any dairy. I’ll be posting the recipe on my site next week.

  First of all, I haven’t had that beer, but it sounds tasty on it’s own. I’m sure it was delicious with the strawberries in this sorbet. So glad you enjoyed it. Let me know when your post goes up!

  I loved it too. Even though when you say Strawberry and Beer Sorbet people kind of look at you like you’re crazy….

This sounds awesome and I know my husband would love it but we don’t have an ice cream maker. Is there an alternative way to make it?

  I haven’t made it without an ice cream maker… Here’s an article from David Lebovitz on how to make ice cream without an ice cream maker: http://www.davidlebovitz.com/2007/07/making-ice-crea-1/

I work in a brewpub in Boulder. I’m gonna try this out with fresh peaches, honey, and a strong belgian golden ale. I’ll let you know how it goes.

  Oh man – that sounds awesome. I have a TON of peaches in my house right now… I just made a blueberry variety the other night.
