Over the weekend, the American Cancer Society in Greenwood, South Carolina held a huge cake-themed fundraiser. This day long event included challenges where individuals could compete for the best tasting cake and the best decorated cake and was wrapped up with a concert and cake social. This sounds like my kind of event! Enjoying cake for a good cause!
As part of this event, talented cake designers across the country were asked to create a cake for a 2010/2011 calendar. The inspiration was “With a Song in My Heart”, meaning each designer was asked to choose a song and design a cake around it. One of our very own Top Tier designers, Rick Reichart of cakelava, is featured in the calendar!
So for all of you cake lovers, be sure to order a calendar while you still can. The calendar is an 18-month calendar starting July 2010 and running through December 2011. The cost is $20 and the best part is that $7.50 will be donated to the American Cancer Society for each calendar purchased. How can you resist cake and a good cause? Click here for an order form.
I absolutely LOVE this idea! Thanks for sharing such a great fundraiser, can’t wait to order my cake calendar for such a worthy cause!
