Azalea Cake Challenge

AZALEA CAKE CHALLENGE TO DEBUT AT 2010 NORTH CAROLINA AZALEA FESTIVAL Wilmington, NC: The North Carolina Azalea Festival proudly announces an all-new event for the 2010 roster: the Azalea Cake Challenge.

Contestants representing local bakeries, restaurants and catering services will compete in the professional division, while novice bakers can also compete in the amateur division. Cakes in both categories will be critiqued by a professional judging team consisting of local baking experts and Azalea Festival celebrities. Event ticket-holders will also be invited to judge in various "people's choice" categories, and will have the opportunity to sample cakes in the professional category. The event will take place on Sunday, April 11, from noon to 4 pm at Cape Fear Community College's Schwartz Center. Admission price - $5.00 Pre-Sale tickets - 4 for $15.00
