Vote for your favorite restaurant to crown them champion.

MACON, Ga. — If you've got a sweet tooth, then Visit Macon has you covered.

The Great Macon Baking Week is back on July 21-July 28. 16 restaurants will be competing for the title of Macon’s Star Baker. Visitors can vote for their favorite restaurant to crown them the champion.

Those visiting the restaurants can win prizes using their Great Macon Baking Week passports. Passports can be found at the Visitor’s Center or in the Macon Magazine June/ July issue.

Guests win prizes by getting a stamp from each restaurant they visit. 

At five stamps, guests can start claiming prizes such as a cooking set and at 10 stamps they can get a "Fully Baked" t-shirt. 

Those with stamps from all 16 restaurants, will win both the first two-tier prizes and gain entry into a Kitchen-Aid Mixer giveaway!
