Let's Eat Eat Eat Cake!!!!!

Let’s Eat Cake!! Is this a pleasant command, a covert signal to extra-terrestrials bent of pastry domination or a fun competition to raise money to help cure cancer – with actual wedding cake. Let’s go direct to the source - the lovely Melissa Margarita-DiStefano of MasterPiece Weddings.

Tell me more about this event? Are aliens involved in a sponsoring role?

It’s going to be such a fun event, but it is limited to earthlings. Truthfully, who doesn’t love cake! So, we are inviting cake bakers from all over the Southern US to basically (duke it out) and create culinary confections of wedding cakes! We have a Professional Baker category, an Amateur Baker category, and we are even doing a cake auction! And then we’ll have judges there to judge the cakes on appearance and taste. Because wedding cake should look amazing and taste amazing!

How did you come up with this concept? Perhaps an alien visitation?

Oh, this is a great story. I literally had a dream – sans alien visitors. I had a dream about this competition, when I woke up it was as vivid as I had planned it and this competition had come to fruition. Crazy! But true.

What is your goal?

Our goal is to cure cancer. Or at least help cure cancer. The money raised will be used by St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital. As a cancer survivor I wanted to help; I wanted to do something especially for kids. Kids haven’t had a chance to dream and live a life. St. Jude’s helps kids and their families do just that. So our goal is raise money – I am going to raise $50,000 with this fund raiser to help cure cancer………… with cake!

How can we help?

Gosh, there are so many ways to help, if you can bake, call me! If you can donate money, call me! If you can donate prizes, call me! If you can volunteer for the event, call me! 352-317-3222.
