2025 Dessert Auction

Description

Last year we auctioned 12 high-end cakes and raised over $17,000! The dessert auction is a signature component of Serve the Children's annual auction. It highlights the generous hearts of our donors, and the bidding is highly entertaining. A single cake has sold for nearly $4,000! If you want in on a piece of the fun, start thinking about buying a cake at our 22nd annual dinner and dessert auction this October 11th. You can also plan to collaborate with other guests to win a cake. Enjoy watching your cake bring an amazing return, making a huge difference for the children we serve. Cakes for auction are donated by bakers or individuals who buy bakery cakes.
