Cakebook
On Sunday June 20th 2010, as part of EAT! NewcastleGateshead, a giant model of the twin cities will be built of cakes. 100 iconic buildings and structures have been chosen and now we're looking for 100 teams of professional and amateur cake builders from across the UK and beyond to form an online 'Cakebook' community. ...This culinary network will trade tips and ideas, share experiences, document their progress, download sugar-craft video clips, attend interactive online workshops and web chats with Cakebook's Head Pastry Chef and, ultimately, discover the secret 'Flash Mob Picnic' location of the map. At this free finale event, cakes will be brought and placed on a giant map of the NewcastleGateshead urban landscape as Cakebook member's picnic and party around the perimeter. Prize-winning professional and amateur cakes will be chosen by a panel of experts.

And here is where it all starts... In late January 2010, 100 building plots will be auctioned online with a starting price of 99p, winning bidders will join our new Cakebook website, and then the fun really begins.

If you'd like a chance to become part of Cakebook please register by visiting our Facebook site or emailing baker@cakebook.org
