The Cherry Blossoms Bake-Off at The Cherry Arts

The Cherry Arts, Ithacas innovative multi-arts hub, is thrilled to present the first annual Cherry Blossoms Bake-Off! Do you like to bake? Or maybe you like to eat what other people bake. Either way, we invite you to help the Cherry Arts raise funds in our First Annual Cherry Blossoms Bake-Off! The Cherry is looking for bakers, community members who enjoy baked treats, and even a community judge to help us make the day special.The theme of the bake-off is springtime arts and blossoms! The Cherry invites Ithacas amazing bakers to interpret the theme as creatively as possible. Baked goods can be either sweet or savory, and will be judged by an all-star panel of community judges. Fabulous prize packages will be awarded in categories including Best Savory, Best Sweet, Best Presentation, Best Interpretation of the Theme, and Best Gluten Free and/or Vegan. The Audience Favorite prize will be particularly fabulous, so bakers, get your baking fan base to buy tickets! Every great baker deserves a team, so the Cherry is asking that bakers gather sponsors to raise a minimum of $50 in sponsorships. There will be a prize for the highest-sponsored baker as well!For folks who want to be extra involved, we invite you to enter the silent auction for the Community Judge chair! Visit our Bake-Off event page at thecherry.org by June 1st and scroll for the form to bid for your prestige spot on the all-star judging panel!Everyone interested in baking or attending should visit thecherry.org for more information and ticket links. All proceeds benefit the Cherry Artss ability to continue providing incredible international performance, gallery exhibitions, studio classes, and a variety of services for vulnerable communities from our home on Cherry Street.
