• Master baking teams’ & judges’ crowdfunding pages
• Viewer ticketing form
• Prizes
• Mobile swiper and integrated app for concessions payment processing
• Venue with ovens & kitchen space (or have contestants pre-bake cupcakes, then make frosting and other goodies they can use to decorate their entries during competition)

Before the event, promote your keyword & shortcode and sign-up link supporters can use to crowdfund for the chance to be an official judge.

In addition to judging and elimination rounds to determine the winner of the ultimate cupcake war, have baking teams crowdfund before and during the event in lieu of votes. Ask teams to sell tickets to family and friends for the event with a minimum donation on their page and a RSVP option on the form. A reward can be given to the team with the most donors or highest donation total.

Your nonprofit organization can easily create a branded form to sell tickets to the general public for the delectable event.

Since the sweet smells of the baking goodies will leave the crowds hungry, be sure to offer concession items, coffee, beverages and cupcakes (of course) for sale. A credit card swiper and integrated fundraising app will instantly turn any mobile device into a digital register.
