Welcome to Sally’s Monthly Baking Challenge!

I started Sally’s Baking Challenge in 2017, and since then, thousands of home bakers all over the world have joined in the fun. Participants who choose to make the monthly challenge recipe at home and share a photo will be entered in a drawing to win a prize. Don’t think of this as a baking competition, but rather as a community baking together.
