Cake Whimzy / Laughing Place Bakery’s Cake

The Kauffman Center celebrated its 5th anniversary at BravoKC, a free community event that took place on September 2nd from 5:00 – 9:00 p.m. Over 10,000 visitors joined the celebration, which featured free live performances from local performers on three stages, lawn games provided by KC Crew, birthday cake and a fireworks display to end the night.

As part of the interactive activities taking place during BravoKC, Kauffman Center hosted a cake decorating contest. Culinary artists joined in the fun and used the Kauffman Center and Kansas City performing arts as the theme and inspiration to create cakes and confections for the contest. Entries were displayed in Brandmeyer Great Hall during BravoKC and attendees had the opportunity to vote by text for their favorite cake creation. Local bakeries and culinary artists submitted cake entries, including 3 Women and an Oven, Bonterra Catering, Brooklyn Shumate, Cake Whimzy / The Laughing Place Bakery, Cami’s Cake & Coffee and Sasha’s Bakery.

Competition was fierce, as all entries provided beautiful and unique Kauffman Center inspired cakes. After a tally of votes, we are pleased to congratulate Cake Whimzy / The Laughing Place Bakery located in Gladstone, MO for providing the winning cake creation!

Many thanks to all participants and to those who attended BravoKC and voted for their favorite cake!
