Fierce and Sweet: 1st Annual Brooklyn Bake Off

fierceand sweet

Hello Friends and Readers,

I know it’s been a while since I last posted, but fret not. I will be back with more yummy stuff as soon as Ramadan is over.

Having said that, I wanted to share some exciting news with you. On October 11, 2009, Rachel and I are individually participating in Fierce and Sweet, a baking competition and fundraiser to benefit New York Cares, a leading volunteer organization that serves New York City.  This Brooklyn bake off will bring together amateur and professional bakers to compete in front of an audience of sweet toothed voters (ahem.. you).

This is my first baking competition, so I’m really psyched and looking forward it. These are the categories that we can enter for a win:

  • Most Surprising Ingredients
  • Most Delicious
  • Sexiest Baker
  • Best “Green” Goodies
  • Best Presentation

I don’t know what I’m making yet, but given my recent obsession with True Blood, it’ll likely be something vampiresque.  I’m still figuring it out. My stage name is “Draculinaria”… um yeah… Rachel made me do it :)

Anyway, it’s for fun and it’s for good.  So, if you’re free, come  show us some love and socialize for a cause.

xoxo

RN

    Oooh, so glad you brought this to my attention. Though I must say I feel nervous about “sexiest baker.” Does that mean people will come with cupcakes AND a sexy maid costume? I’ve been doing a lot projects with NY Cares in the last year, and this bake-off might be just the push I need to get over my fear of public baking failure. ;)

    Go for it Sarah! The more the merrier! And considering you are Ms. Crafter Extraordinaire, best presentation and sexiest baker are yours to grab. That has got to count for something :)
