Hey Guys!
I just heard from my cake instructer that there will be a cake competition in Albuquerque Nm, in November. I don't have all of the details yet, but she said that the President of a local orchestra said that since he was a Foodnetwork fan, he had decide to hold a cake competition in celebration of the orchestra's 75th(not sure about that number) anniversary. Anyone can enter. As I said, I don't have all of the details yet, but I will post them as I learn.
Yes, it's the 75th anniversary fo the New Mexico Symphony Orchestra.
The cake must be real and the theme must have something to do with NMSO or music/instruments/ or the contributions of the symphony to the community.
There will be 1st 2nd and 3rd place prizes each day. You can enter any or all of the days. On the 18th there will be a Best In Show prize.
Dates are Nov. 16-18
The cakes will be served to guests. I didn't see anywhere that there is an entry fee, so I assume it's free.
You can go to The Specialty Shop on Lomas and San Pedro to pick up some info. Sigh. I wish I were good enough to join this competition. I don't even aspire to win! But there's no way I'm ready to actually compete. Not yet anyway.
The New Mexico Symphony Cake contest information from the form I received from the chair of the event, Sharon Freisinger.
The Decorating contest will be for the performances on November 16, 17, and 18th. The would like to have first, second and third place awards for each day and then on the 18th have a BEST OF SHOW. You could enter any or all of the three days. The cakes in the contest will be served after each performance and prizes will be awarded for each day.
