Cake Challenge for the Cure

Isn't the logo great? My sister-in-law-to-be designed it. She's a talented artist so I knew when I told her a few weeks ago that I was having trouble finding something on clip art that screamed women coming together to fight breast cancer by decorating cakes that she would come up with something fun, eye-catching, and appropriate. And she did! Thanks, Meg!

Jennifer and I are gearing up for the big event. Well, the big event before the big event in November. First things first. The press releases have been sent out and donations are starting to come in for the raffle basket. Things are coming together.

Cake Challenge for the Cure is on Sunday, May 17th from 3-5pm. Five professional cake decorators will compete in a cake decorating challenge inspired by Food Network Challenge. At the end of the competition, pastry chefs will choose a winner, we'll auction off the cakes and raffle off the gift basket. The restaurant is providing hors d'ouerves and beverages and cute little cakes for us to sell for the net proceeds.

Nothing to do now except wait for the registrations to come in. Of course, you can just show up at the door, but the restaurant wants some idea of how many will attend so we're asking people to preregister. Please give me a call to preregister. We already have a few attendees and I'm sure it will really pick up once the newspapers start promoting the event. Very exciting!

And the competitors are:

  1. I'm so excited (and fortunate) that you're an awesome organizer. Who said being obsessive was a bad thing? : )
