Architects Bake-Off for Worthy Cause

Country music singer, songwriter, and guitarist, Steve Azar will perform at Dessert Before Dinner.

The second Annual Dessert Before Dinner with Bubbles and Bons fundraiser, sponsored by the Alex Foundation, will be held October 3, at Garvan Woodland Gardens Pavilion, 550 Arkridge Rd., Hot Springs, 2 p.m. – 6 p.m.

Guests will be treated to an Architecture Bake-off in which award-winning architects and designers will transfer their design talents from buildings to cakes by baking, designing, and constructing an iconic building.

Architecture and engineering firms competing in the bake-off include Little Rock firms, Cromwell Architects Engineers, Revival Architecture, and Woods Group Architects, and Hot Springs firm, Nature’s Angle Architecture.

Judging the bake-off will be bakery connoisseurs and owners, including Ann Potter Baking, Cocoa Belle Chocolates, Community Bakery, and Sweet Love Bakes. 

 Included with a purchased ticket, guests can tour Garvan Woodland Gardens, savor bubbles and bonbons, enjoy a fabulously inspired and delicious dinner, and top off the evening with the Billboard charted hit songwriter, Steve Azar. Arkansas comedian, Nate Williams will host the event.  

According to an Alex Foundation spokesperson, support for their fundraiser helps provide much-needed financial assistance in areas of academic and educational disparity.

“This benefit is helping to provide support for STEAM® particularly with rural, limited access and underserved students to have opportunities that they normally would not have.” STEAM® represents science, technology, engineering, plus architecture, and math. 

Tickets can be purchased at www.centralarkansastickets.com: $35 in advance and $45 on event day.
