You're wonderful! Thanks a lot. I'm going to try and pass by on Thursday with some girl-friends. Maybe I'll find THE cake.

Thank you Have they done this before? Has anyone been? Is it free?

Re: Cakewalk Today thru Thursday at Grand Central

I went today and the cake displays were absolutely beautiful! They were by bakers from all across the country -- NYC, Texas, California. There was a champagnne bar with tastings of Martini & Rossi as well as a demonstration area. People seemed to be getting tastings/samples at the demo station but I was there during the shift change and I had to get back to work. I'm sure I'll be there later this week since I work nearby, so I'll give another report then
