Cake has always been a big part of my life. I always looked forward to cakes on my birthday because my mom always put so much time into making them beautiful. One year, I had a cake decorated to look like a flannel pajama shirt. Seriously, incredible.

So I was pumped when my boss from my Junior Internship this past summer invited me to help out at the Let Them Eat Cake event, this past Tuesday. It was held in the Millennium Hall at the Loews Hotel, an incredible luxury hotel in Center City Philadelphia. The event brings a bunch of chefs, brides to be, event planners, and other vendors together to raise money for City of Hope, a cancer treatment and awareness center. Tons of chefs make beautiful cakes which are then judged on cake and filling flavors, use of levels, color, etc. My job was to help tally all the scores together so that we could declare one chef a winner. It was exciting. And then I explored with Kate, a fellow internship worker, and we ate cake, tons of cake.

Here are some pictures of my favorite cakes.

I think I'm going to take advantage of the beautiful weather and play Philly-themed mini golf tomorrow. This weekend is also setup and orientation in preparation for the Alter Hall grand opening on Monday. My Event Management class has been helping to plan with our professor, who owns an event management company. It's been a really awesome experience, giving us a chance to explore all sorts of details, and we're pumped to see it come together on Monday. Take a look yourself-- CNBC will be covering the event live at several times.
