Never to Early to Get Creative

Never to early to cook up some plans for the summer. Right now the Amherst Public Library is planning their next "Great American Bake Sale" as part of Share Our Strength's fundraiser to end childhood hunger.

This year you can bring items in for the bake sale that takes place on Saturday, July 11, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. We are looking for donations of baked goods that can be brought to the library before closing on Friday, July 10 before 5 p.m.

But wait! Why not get creative and enter out Creative Cupcake Contest. Yes you could win one of our coveted Golden Spatula awards. Bring in one dozen cupcakes (or the equivalent) for judging and one dozen for the bake sale. Have all items at the Amherst Public Library before 5 p.m. on Friday, July 10. Judging will be after the library closes that Friday and winners will be announced at the bake sale on Saturday.

Judging this year's contest is a special team from The Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York.
