Cake-a-palooza – Volunteers
Volunteer Tickets are limited. Please review the following:
- There is no charge for a ticket, but if you want to participate and get cake, you must bring a whole cake (that meets the rules below). Absolutely no exceptions.
- No pets (except service animals).
Cake Rules (again, no exceptions!)
– Cakes must be at least 8” in diameter and 3” high.
– Cakes can be any flavor or style.
– Dress (your cake) to impress. Bake (or buy) us your best. This is your chance to show off your best baking and decorating skills. We love a supermarket cake as much as the next person, but this is not the time for that.|
– Bring a card or a sign listing your cake’s ingredients. If your cake has or doesn’t have allergens (gluten, nuts, dairy, eggs) – let us know that too.
– Cakes should be on a board, plate, or stand (no pans or trays) – cardboard is fine! Bring your own server. Make sure everything is labeled!!
Event Rules:
– Cakes should be in place by 10:30 am (even if you have a “later” volunteer shift) — We’ll have some fridge space if you want to drop your cake off in advance.
– There will be 15 minutes for cake viewing and picture taking before cake-cutting chaos ensues.
– Everyone gets a randomly assigned wristband at check-in (including volunteers). When cake-cutting time starts, we’ll pull a color at random, and you can join that group will have 6 minutes to get cake!!! We’ll keep going until all groups have had a turn. Cake permitting, you will be allowed one re-entry after all groups have had a turn. If there is cake remaining — we’ll let people return.
– Cake chaos will begin at 11:00 am (ish!).
