If you’re like us, you get sucked into watching the myriad cake shows on TLC. You sit down to take a quick break and 3 hours later you’re still watching them create crazy things out of fondant and modelling chocolate.

Well if you would love to have a spectacular cake at your next shindig, but would rather leave it up to the experts, you should definitely enter the raffle for our amazing prize courtesy of Blondie’s Bakery.

Blondie’s Bakery offers custom cakes and cupcakes to fit your needs. They make all baked goods from scratch using fresh ingredients to ensure great taste and top quality. Tracy’s cakes taste as good as they look, and she’s providing a voucher for up to $200 towards a custom creation. Talking to Tracy, she’s really looking forward to making the winner’s day “that much sweeter”. Full details of the prize will be available at the raffle, so make sure you’re at Red & White Ball tomorrow night!

Who can resist a treat that’s a little bit salty and a little bit sweet? Certainly not us, at least not since we first tried the amazing kettle corn that Olde Tyme Kettle Corn donates to Red & White Ball each year. It’s that perfect snack in the middle of the party and we delighted that Olde Tyme Kettle Corn has come back again to keep us snacking late into the evening.

Sponsor Profile: Scratch Lab

Red & White TO Committee — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 14:03:03 +0000

So far we’ve told you about some of the amazing treats you’ll get to share in at Red & White Ball this year, but what can really make or break a party is the DJ. Lucky for us at Red & White, Scratch Lab will be back again this year, and lucky for you, they’re providing an amazing prize for our raffle. One semester of Beginner lessons at Scratch Lab DJ Institute — Value: $499

We asked Scratch Lab to describe what they do: Mixing, matching and scratching are a few of the key DJ techniques we teach at Scratch Lab DJ Institute – students can learn in small groups or private lessons, and students love teachers who choose field trips at Scratch Lab instead of lacklustre trips getting cultured at Black Creek Pioneer Village.

Thanks Scratch Lab, and good luck everyone! You can find Scratch Lab on Facebook and Twitter.

Meet one of our fabulous co-chairs, Karen Passmore!

1. How did you get involved with Red & White Ball?

I’ve known several of the organizers over the years and got involved when the lovely Marissa Morettin was in charge. When she moved away from Toronto, she passed the torch on to Julie and I and we have been co-chairing the event ever since!

2. What song do you never get sick of?

‘Don’t Stop Believing’ by Journey (I wake up to this song every day) and ‘Walking on Sunshine’ by Katrina and the Waves

3. What’s your favourite Red & White Ball memory?

There’s been so many great memories from Red & White over the years – pole dancers, mini-cupcakes, photo booths, kettle corn, dance-offs, getting all dolled up with the girls and support from all my friends – every year is unique in its own way and every year tops the last.

4. How would you describe yourself in one word?

Tenacious

5. If you could be a character in a movie, what movie would you be in?

Some days, Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, and other days Uma Thurman in Kill Bill – in both cases, not giving up until the job’s done.
