Bake. Post. Tag. Win! The Mitts Come Off for 3rd Art of Dessert Bake Off

If LBC’s annual Art of Dessert fundraiser is right around the corner, you know what that means! It’s time for the third annual LBC Bake Off, when the mitts come off for the North Bay’s Artists of Dessert!

In the run-up to our popular annual Art of Dessert gala and online auction, this month we’ll call kids, home bakers, and pro/semi pro bakers back to their mixers and ovens to help raise awareness for access to the arts and arts education in Sonoma County. LBC invites the entire community to join this fun, creative community baking challenge. This widely popular, at-home baking competition takes place entirely over social media, where each baker creates their most artsy confection, posts a photo on Facebook and/or Instagram, and tags it #LBCBakeOff23. Online LBC fans and bake-off junkies drool over all the sweet submissions, and, at the end of two weeks, our online community votes for the best in each category, “Young Baker,” “Home Baker,” and “Semi-Pro / Pro.” The winners receive a $150-value gift certificate for tickets to the Center’s live performances.

Taste-tempting, eye-popping, mouth-watering wins!

Last year, the Bake Off whipped up a big helping of awareness for Art of Dessert by featuring more than 20 dazzling entries, including a cocoa-dusted chocolate cowboy hat cake, a geode cake with a shimmery interior resembling its crystal counterpart, and a watercolor cake with rice paper sails and edible watercolor whale image and chocolate shells.
This year’s competition starts Tuesday, March 21, and ends at noon on Tuesday, April 4. Voting takes place from noon, April 5 to noon, April 7. Winners will be announced Sat, April 8 at 10:00 am.
