The Makes-Me-Wanna SHOUT! Coconut Cake Challenge contest tasting Semifinals will be hosted at Miriam’s Kitchen Saturday, March 19, 2011 from 2-4 PM at Miriam’s Kitchen. The contest is presented by Eatonville Restaurant and Church Lady Cake Diaries to benefit Miriam’s Kitchen that provides meals and case management services to over 3,000 homeless men and women in the District each year.
The contest semifinals will feature a variety of original coconut cakes selected from a pool of contest applications. The public is invited to join the judges in selecting the top five coconut cakes for the Final 5 at Eatonville Restaurant (April 27) and give an amateur baker from the DMV area a chance to win a $500 first prize and the winning cake featured on Eatonville Restaurant’s menu.
Official judges for the event include Joan Nathan, a James Beard Award winner, author of 10 cookbooks and host of the PBS television series “Jewish Cooking in America with Joan Nathan”; Brenda Rhodes Miller, author of two books, including “The Church Ladies’ Divine Desserts”; Andy Shallal, owner of Eatonville Restaurant; and Scott Schenkelberg, Executive Director of Miriam’s Kitchen.
