All cake decorating enthusiasts can show off their talents and compete for four $100 cash prizes by entering the “Once Upon a Cake” decorating contest as a part of the fifth annual Mad Hatter’s Tea Party, an afternoon event, from 2-4 p.m. on May 17, hosted by the Columbia Gorge Hotel. The Alice in Wonderland-themed cake decorating contest will have four categories with cash prizes open to all ages and abilities, ranging from children five years of age up to professionals. The cakes are sure to add more imagination to this already storybook afternoon.

The beautiful Columbia Gorge Hotel will again be the setting for this fun and family friendly benefit for Opportunity Connections, a local non-profit organization providing services to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in our community. Don’t be late for this very important date! Join in the fun with Alice and friends for this most enjoyable afternoon of tea and cakes and Wonderland activities for all ages.
