Niagara Rises

Nickel City Cake Challenge is a one-time event slated to take place in the early afternoon on Valentine’s Day 2010. This challenge is a live, head-to-head cake decorating competition that will feature three of Western New York’s top cake artists.  In just two hours, each of the cake decorators chosen to participate will be challenged to complete a cake that meets specific criteria and is in keeping with the theme “Wedding in Buffalo”.

 We are looking for WNY’s top cake artists- are you one of them?  Cake decorators currently employed by bakeries or markets in any of Western New York’s 8 counties qualify, as do freelance decorators operating with a current business license.

 The competition will be held at Artisan Kitchens & Baths, home of the Nickel City Chef series.  In Artisan’s stunning loft showroom, each artist and their assistant will work from one of Artisan’s three $100,000 kitchens in front of a panel of professional judges and a live audience.  During the two hour competition, guests will have the opportunity to snack from our custom hot chocolate bar and confectionery station, view cake decorating demonstrations and vote for their favorite cake from the day’s amateur entries.

 Applications for the professional portion of the competition are available for download at FeedYourSoulBuffalo.com.  Deadline for submissions is 5pm on November 14, 2009.

 Do you know a talented professional cake artist?  Please forward this information to them!  Electronic submissions, questions or concerns can be sent to nickelcitychef@gmail.com.  Details regarding tickets sales and the amateur decorator portion of the event will be available in December.  Stay tuned to www.FeedYourSoulBuffalo.com for more information.
