I want to wake up in the city that never sleeps . . .

I can NOT stop singing New York, New York!

Yep, that's right....a little New York City update for you. Just a short recap, 14 other food bloggers and I will be teaming up with Kelly Ripa and a special cake decorating guest to decorate cakes and raise money for the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund.

{Thank you, Electrolux and Foodbuzz.}

Tuesday is the big day...here's how it will work (I think):

• Arrive in The Big Apple Monday...dinner and cocktails with the other bloggers! Yay!
  
• Tuesday morning, we're heading out EARLY to see Live with Regis & Kelly!!!
  
• That afternoon, we are paired with 2 other bloggers to decorate our cakes.
• We will be given tips by a surprise guest (click here to find out!).
  
• We'll pull a theme out of a hat and have ONE hour to decorate our cake (and eat lunch!).

Here's where you come in...

• The cakes will be posted on Kelly Confidential. You'll be able to vote for your favorite and by doing so, a donation will be made to the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund.
• Check back here on Wednesday because I'll have more info AND a prize to thank you for voting and raising money.

Let me introduce you to my decorating team of three...

1. Jen, of My Kitchen Addiction: check out her Cake with Peanut Butter Frosting!!!
2. Diana, of A Little Bit of Spain in Iowa: how good does this German Chocolate Cake look?!?
