Natasha Pickowicz’s debut cookbook, MORE THAN CAKE, is out on April 11. To celebrate, she is throwing a big fundraiser bake sale in support of our friends at Quarter Acre for the People Program’s local Multicultural Cooperative Farming Intentional Community campaign.
Ten local bakeries will sell baked goods inspired by Natasha’s cookbook. Guests will be able to purchase $8 tickets to redeem for any pastry of their choosing. Cider will also be available to purchase. 100% of the bake sale proceeds will go to Quarter Acre for the People Program as well as a portion of cider and book sales.
Buffalo Street Books will be selling copies of More than Cake and Natasha will be signing them.
