Thank You, Cupcake Contest Judges!

The Sophie Fund extends our sincere appreciation to the finalist judges of the 9th Annual Ithaca Cupcake Baking Contest on October 19. Besides volunteering to serve, they baked up some treats of their own—500 cookies—to pass out to contestants, volunteers, audience members, and passersby in the Ithaca Commons. Thank you Yuko Jingu of Akemi Food; Ashley Case of Case Sera Sera; Racquel Riccardi of the Sinfully Delicious Baking Co.; Melissa Kenny of Sweet Melissa’s Ice Cream Shop; and Via Carpenter of Via’s Cookies.
