I know you probably were expecting a post on enchilada’s roja or part 2 of my series on fat. That will come soon, I promise! However, today my hubby and I are in NYC!!
In case you didn’t know, 14 other food bloggers and I will be teaming up with Kelly Ripa and the cake boss himself, Buddy Valastro to decorate cakes and raise money for the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund.
We still don’t know many details, but keep on checking back as I post about my adventures while in NYC! One thing is for sure, Foodbuzz and Electrolux know how to take care of their guests. Upon arrival, Gabe and I were met by a personal driver. He had a sign with my name on it!! How cool is that! We are staying in the swank and posh hotel, Hotel Gansevoort in the trendy meat packing district of Manhattan. It’s super nice!! And if that’s not enough, Electrolux left me a swag bag! Check out the goodies!!
Yeah, that’s a 46 bottle Electrolux wine cooler! That silver metallic jar is a sugar duster! I’ve been needing one! As you can tell, I’m pretty excited!
Here’s a picture of the view outside our window.
This really is a concrete jungle! New York is huge and from what I’ve seen so far, beautiful!
So anyway’s tonight I’ll be meeting these lovely ladies at a special cocktail reception where there will be a cooking demonstration from The Spotted Pig.
- Bridget of Bake at 350
- Linda, of My Salty Seattle
- Jenn, of My Kitchen Addiction
- Katherine, of Smoky Mountain Cafe
- Meghann, of The Inner Workings of a College Graduate
- Megan, of Megan’s Munchies
- Sandy, of No One Puts Cupcake in a Corner
- Laura, of The Cooking Photographer
- Erika, from In Erika’s Kitchen
- Kelly, from Evil Shenanigans
- Jessie, of CakeSpy
- Tina, from Carrots ‘n’ Cake
- Sabrina, from Rhodey Girl Tests
- Joseline, of Daydreamer Desserts
After our reception we are all getting together for a gift exchange. Each one of us has brought a gift for one person. The item needs to be something related (hopefully food related) to our part of the country. I’m super excited to give my gift! Once we exchange, I’ll share what we receive from each other.
Should be a great evening and I’ll definitely take lots of pictures! I’m also thinking about asking everyone if they’d like to do a twitter hashtag for this event. This will allow you all to keep in touch with what we’re doing via our twitter updates. As soon as I get word, I’ll share!
Stay tuned for a recap of this evenings events! You can also follow me on twitter at @dianabauman.
