2024 Dessert Auction

We auctioned 10 high-end cakes at last year’s event and raised over $21,000! The dessert auction is a signature component of our October event. It highlights the generous hearts of our donors, and the bidding is highly entertaining. A single cake has sold for nearly $4000! If you want in on a piece of the fun, start thinking about buying a cake at our 21st annual dinner and dessert auction this October 5th. 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. Cakes for auction are donated by bakers or individuals who buy bakery cakes.
