Let's Eat Cake! For St. Jude's Children Hospital

Let’s Eat Cake! is a wedding cake competition benefitting St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital. Our goal is to donate at least $50,000 to this deserving organization. 100% of our proceeds will be
directly donated to St. Jude’s.

Let’s Eat Cake! will include a cake design and taste challenge as well as a live cake auction. The most coveted award is a "crowd's favorite" award, which will be determined by our
guests after trying all of the delicious cakes.

Professional pastry chefs from all over the southeast are invited to compete. Aspiring pastry
chefs and at-home bakers will also be invited to compete in the amateur division. So, if you have been taking those classes at Michaels.. now it's time to show it off!

Local and celebrity judges have volunteered their time to judge the event. All participating bakers will be asked to make a faux wedding cake to be displayed and judged. There is no theme for the wedding cakes, so the pastry chefs are encouraged to use their imagination. In addition to this, all participating chefs must prepare sheet cake to be tasted by the judges and the crowd. Cakes will be judged on appearance, attention to detail, taste & flavor combination, and texture. We will have a tasting station set up for our guests to try all of the participating cakes and cast their vote for the professional and amateur divisions. The winners of each division will be announced at the commencement of the event. We have four categories in each division; Best of Show, Most Beautiful & Creative Design, Tastiest Cake, and Crowd’s Favorite.

If you'd like to attend (and get to nibble on all those fab cakes), donate or just want more details go to:
