On the day of the event, our hand-selected professional decorators had just two hours to complete a cake that met specific criteria and was in keeping with the theme “Wedding in Buffalo.” Our decorators were selected from a pool of challengers who submitted applications and sketches to our panel.
Selected for their diversity and passion, Nickel City Cake Challenge: Wedding in Buffalo decorators were:
Zilly Rosen of ZillyCakes
Susan Spider of Pumpernick n’ Pastry Shoppe
Tony Concialdi of Panaro’s
We were confident that each decorator will bring their own style, skill set, experience and personality to the challenge, and that they would present our audience with an exhilarating and creative competition–and they did!
Nickel City Cake Challenge was held at Artisan Kitchens & Baths, home of the Nickel City Chef series. In Artisan’s stunning loft showroom, each artist and their assistant worked from one of Artisan’s three $100,000 kitchens in front of a panel of professional judges and a live audience.
During the two hour competition, guests had the opportunity to enjoy our Custom Hot Chocolate Bar & Confectionery Station, view cake decorating demonstrations, sample sweets from our partners Lake Effect Ice Cream and Niagara Popcorn and vote for their favorite cake from the day’s amateur entries.
