It's a beautiful day for a bake sale and, while sadly I couldn't make it to the sale today, intrepid member Lynn arrived early to the Sale. There was a Sandra Lee sighting and Emeril sighting but, no Duff.
By the time the doors opened the room was literally packed wall to wall with foodies and cupcake enthusiasts. However, Lynn managed to fight her way to Amy DeGiulio's cupcake table. Amy, owner of
Sugar Flower Cake Shop, and friend of NYC Cake Decorators, runs her custom cake business on the principle that fresh, local, and seasonal ingredients make the best tasting cupcakes and wedding cakes in New York City. Amy uses honey cultivated from NYC rooftop apiaries, and organic milk from
Milk Thistle Farm in New York. Lynn snapped up Amy's pomegranate and honey cupcakes--yummy!
Amy is also noted for her
sugar flowers, hence the name Sugar Flower Cake Shop. Amy is currently scheduling sugar flower classes in her new shop to share her love of sugarcraft with others.
After saying goodbyes to Amy, Lynn just couldn't decide on which other delicious confections she should try. It was a difficult job, but she was more than up to the challenge.
Alas, Lynn had to leave before she was able to see Duff, but enjoyed the bake sale just the same. Although the event wasn't truly the world's largest bake sale [in size], it certainly had the world's biggest heart with proceeds going to the Food Bank of New York.
