Thursday night was the Chocolate for Choice Auction.
There was a great turn out and a lot of delicious treats!
Patty Murray showed up and spoke and my blog even got publicly mentioned!
( Not by Patty, although, that would have been pretty cool. * “Yeah… Ol’ Pats reads my blog..I’m kind of a big deal” That’s what I would call her, Pats.*

Anyway, back to reality.
An interesting dude that I had met at this benefit a few years ago was set up next to my table so I got to hang out with him through the evening.
His name is Steve Whippo.

The year before last, he did a great chocolate display of hands.
It was completely 3 dimensional and awesome.
This year he did a solid chocolate replica of a Picasso painting.
Which was neat since I has just seen the real thing in person a few weeks ago at the Picasso exhibit in Seattle!
I didn’t win the tasting award as I had hoped. Although my auction cake brought in a nice donation from a Seattle Counsel member.
This cake is always such a hit, I really thought I had a good chance.
I also got a chance to talk with the owner of Cupcake Royal.
She was a real doll. All in all, the night was a success and I am ready for the weekend.

Ciao!
Your cake looks so yummy! How did you cut it into those perfect little squares? There must be a secret.
I'd love to meet the owner of cupcake royale. I'm a loyal royale.
