Beloved annual fundraiser moves to the evening.
Home bakers and professional pastry chefs will feature their talents at the annual CAKE-Off (Community Action for Kids’ Education), a fundraiser for the Edina Education Fund. Traditionally an early morning event, the education fund decided to make this year an evening occassion. The celebration of creativity and community spirit is 5:30 to 8 p.m. January 29 at the Mahon Center.
The CAKE-Off features lively silent and live auctions of bakery-made cakes, culinary experiences and decadent desserts. This year, one of the cakes on auction is sponsored by Edina Magazine. Another fun element is that home bakers can channel their inner Great British Baking Show dreams by submitting their show-stopping cakes online. Attendees can admire the designs and vote for their favorites.
To view the cake contest rules and to register for the event, go to edinaedfund.org.
