Fondant. Flying trapeze. 'Dueling Banjos.' A gingerbread Eiffel Tower. The pandemic has raised the game in company competitions.

Rebecca Welch was planning to bake a cake, but she didn’t want to seem like a showoff.

Ms. Welch, 32, went ahead with her fondant creation, spending several nights watching YouTube tutorials and struggling to keep her fondant from cracking. Her cake was bested by a colleague’s beach-themed entry; Ms. Welch says she felt reassured that she hadn’t been the only one trying hard.Grace Habermann performed a Fleetwood Mac song on her ukulele for her company's talent show.

“Pretty much anything I put my mind to, I try to excel as much as possible,” says Mr. Clark, who sits on the company’s finance and operations team. Still, the extent of his commitment surprised him: “I didn’t know I was so into baking.” Ms. Mackreth considered submitting a video of her performing the flying trapeze, but decided against it after learning the company’s chief people officer was planning a similar entry: “She’s very, very good, and I’m just mediocre.”

Sumukh Torgalkar, 36, a Livermore, Colo.-based compliance analyst who moonlights as a stand-up comedian, says he previously didn’t feel comfortable appearing in his company’s talent show. He didn’t want to blur the lines between work and hobbies, and felt awkward competing with co-workers: “As someone who gets paid to do comedy, I don’t want to feel like I’m a ringer in the company talent show.”
