In the guidelines the cakes had to represent the theme and offer a bite-sized sample for approximately 150 people. Guest were encouraged to vote for Best in Theme and Best in Taste. We opened the contest and encouraged people to vote at a $1.00 per vote. The area around the cakes quickly became busy with guests taking a look and sampling the artwork. We also provided a prize for Best Overall based on the total of the guests votes for Best in Theme and Best in Taste combined with sponsorship money that each cake artist collected on their own. We had six cake artists participate and his proved to be a very large part of our fundraiser.
Special thanks to the cake artists: Bambi Provensano, Wanda Bullard, Tracy McNair, Melissa Newton, Micheille Coggins and Jackie McAuley for their hard work.
Best in Taste: Michelle Coggins
Best in Theme: Tracie McNair
Best Overall: Tracie McNair
This could possibly be an event on it's own. Planning for the Second Annual Cake Showcase will begin soon.
