Let Them Eat Cake is a competitive cake competition with categories for students and bakeries.
Unik Cakes in Warminster PA created this funfetti cake of fantasy. I thought it was the most delicious one.
All the cakes were really amazing. I only wish they had more categories, and also didn’t award the same cake company multiple awards.
The work that goes into these cakes are incredible. It is great advertising, and fun to participate
a great cause whether it’s The Variety Club or City Of Hope, where the contest originated with Harry Giordano when he headed up
the organization. He’s at Variety now. Any who, I wish I everyone who put in the amazing effort got a prize.
I loved that “Let them Eat Cake” was held on a Sunday this year. So many families came. It was really nice.
And there was entertainment
There was an amazing auction consisting of trips from around the world with most bids starting at $2000
Plus a nice raffle with a dozen fun prizes to win.
Congrats to entrepreneur Jen Groover for being honored at the event with the Variety Club Leadership Award.
– Lift up other people. Encourage others to see their potential. Be a leader in your community, Jen told the crowd.
