Team Pink Cake Box – Making Strides against Breast Cancer

Anne — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 11:00:59 +0000

The Pink Cake Box team will be participating in this year’s American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk in Parsippany, NJ. Making Strides is close to our hearts as our company is comprised of 95% women. We would like to show our support and raise money for breast cancer research and awareness by donating our time and proceeds of our “pink” products.

We’d like to ask all our loyal readers to help support us. Every donation makes a difference. We know times are tighter than normal for many of us, but if you can spare even $5 that will help.

Visit our Pink Cake Box team page to make a donation.

Also, as part of our “pink” product line, we’ll be selling Pink Ribbon Cookies to help raise funds. 100% of the profits from the cookies will be donated to the American Cancer Society. Call us today to find out more!

Each of us has our own reasons for caring about the fight against breast cancer … whatever your reasons, I hope you’ll choose to make a difference, make history, and make strides with Pink Cake Box.

Cake Decorating Class

Anne — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 02:15:28 +0000

We held a cake decorating class this past Sunday with a great group of 6 women. Emily and I lead the class in instruction included filling, squaring off, stacking, and fondanting. Everyone finished the class with their own 2 tier cake.

One of the students left me this great thank-you note after the class:

Hi Anne,

I just wanted to thank you for the class on Sunday. I had the best time and learned so much, you have no idea. I got a hero’s welcome when I got home and everyone was amazed by how beautiful the cake looked and how adorable “Simon” the elephant was. And then poof! it was gone — eaten and enjoyed, but not before I took many, many pictures.

Thank you again. If you ever need an “older” intern — look no further! I’m yours!

Best regards,

Linda

Stay tuned for more classes and sign up here for more information.
