"I can't stop watching my crops!" – FarmVille Freak

FarmVille has announced an official Desserts Contest with a prize of a whopping 1,000 Farm Cash, 1 million coins and ANY Limited Edition item (past or present) of your choice!

They are asking farmers to put down their virtual pitchforks and get in the kitchen and whip up your best baked good in FarmVille fashion. We have seen some great FarmVille inspired desserts right here on FarmVille Freak and encourage all of our FarmVille Freak chefs to enter this contest.

Read below for more details from FarmVille Community Manager Lexilicious:

“We know that our Farmers can harvest crops, plow fields and tend to livestock like no one else. But the holiday season is fast approaching, and the FarmVille team has decided to celebrate the fall harvest a little differently this year.

It’s time for everyone to get off their tractors, put down their pitchforks and grab an apron! We want to see FarmVille come to life… in baked form! Get those creative juices flowing and recreate your favorite FarmVille themes, animals or decorations into yummy desserts and post a picture for us to see.

We’ll be picking five winners for the best cakes, five winners for the best cookies, and five winners for any original dessert! (This means you can make pies, cupcakes or whatever dessert your heart desires). Bonus points will be given to farmers who name their desert and give us a brief explanation of their creation.

The winners from each category will be receiving 1000 Farm Cash, 1,000,000 Coins and any Limited Edition FarmVille item of your choice (as long as it is currently available in-game or has been previously released*).

This event will be ending at 6:00 PM on December 1st, so pre-heat those ovens, grab your flour and enter today for your chance to win!
