Peter Ting is also one of the most obsessive bakers I know. Looking for an excuse to indulge his baking passion and give back, he started a group in London called the
Cake Committee, which hosts what I like to think of as grown-up bake sales. Members bring their best homemade sweets, mostly
cakes, and select a charity to donate the profits to. The cake sales have been such a success that Ting has helped set up committee chapters (he calls them “slices”) in Singapore, Maine and now New York City. The first meeting of the NYC chapter is tonight from 7 to 9 p.m. at the
Maccarone Gallery. The $20 entrance fee will be donated to the Friends of the
French Culinary Institute and the
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Community Center. RSVP to epaul@vlany.org to eat cake for a cause.
