Sometimes we at DCist find ourselves wandering around the Dupont and Logan neighborhoods, unsatisfied after an excursion to CakeLove. We roam between the new condos and the embassies until we realize that what we really have is CakeLust. Tonight, Share Our Strength’s Great American Bake Sale promises to satisfy our cravings.
For a $10 suggested donation [hint: they’ll be happy to take more] to funds aimed at combating childhood hunger, you can spend the evening in the Helix Lounge surrounded by sundry sweets. Sip away the night among like-minded sots with “caketinis” in flavors such as Pumpkin Pie, Strawberry Cheesecake, Oreo, and Pineapple Upside-Down Cake. Channel your artisan side by creating masterpieces at the complimentary ice cream sundae bar. You can even win prizes from the swanky Kimpton hotel group (romantic weekend at Hotel Madera, anyone?)
The event is tonight at Helix Hotel (1403 Rhode Island Avenue, NW) from 6 to 9 p.m. Don’t ever say we didn’t give you any sugar.
