“The Pontotoc Food Fight is an annual event that celebrates bakers from all backgrounds and skill levels,” said B.O.N.D. CEO Jessica Starks. “The main purpose behind this event is to help these bakers reach new audiences, network with other professionals in their industry, and challenge themselves and develop new skills through our themes.”
B.O.N.D. Small Business Group will be hosting the following events to celebrate five years of the Pontotoc Food Fight:

Bakers have the chance to win in three categories: Fan Favorite, Best Dressed Cake, and 1st Place Overall. However, Jessica mentioned that this year a new award will be introduced at the event. Attendees will choose the winners of the Fan Favorite awards; however, Best Dressed Cake and 1st Place Overall will be selected by three judges – local food blogger Jeff Jones of “Eating Out with Jeff Jones” and food critic duo Tae Buchanan and Jerwarski Marshall, better known as ItsJawz&Tae.
