Nickel City Cake Challenge

Feed Your Soul–the company behind the sold-out success of the summer, Nickel City Chef–is proud to present Western New York with a competition that may be even sweeter! Nickel City Cake Challenge is a one-time event taking place on Saturday, February 13th, 2010 from 1 – 3:30 p.m. This challenge is a live, head-to-head cake decorating competition featuring three of Western New York’s most creative cake artists. Those decorators include: Tony Concialdi of Panaro’s, Zilly Rosen of Zillycakes and Susan Spider of Pumpernick n’ Pastry Shop. In just two hours, each of the cake decorators will attempt to complete a cake that meets specific criteria and is in keeping with the theme “Wedding in Buffalo”. 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. In addition to the exciting live competition, guests will have the opportunity to snack from our custom hot chocolate bar and confectionery station, sample sweets from our partners Lake Effect Ice Cream and Niagara Popcorn, view cake decorating demonstrations and vote for their favorite cake from the day’s amateur entries.
