If only Marie Antoinette were alive today: She could tell us to eat lots of cake and we’d happily oblige. Beat back the shaky economic times with today’s deal that’s sure to please the gentry and rabble: half off of admission to the National Capital Area Cake Show in Annandale. Choose from one of three options: Pay $7.50 and get a two-day general admission for one (regularly $15), pay $15 and enjoy additional access to the 2011 Cupcake Challenge with five tastings (regularly $30), or, pay $20, skip the cupcakes, and watch the celebs duke it out in the Live Cake Challenge (regularly $40). NCACS is a non-profit event aimed at bringing attention to the creative and entrepreneurial potential of pastry-making. A wide range of classes will be available for purchase, from frosting cookies to designing luxury cakes. Elite vendors will be showcasing their goods and demonstrations will run throughout the expo for free. And with all proceeds going to local charities, it’s a deal that’ll have you telling everyone, “Let them eat cake.”

The show is also having the following event (I’d assume you need tickets to the show):
