This bake-off was inspired by General Motors employee Allison Patterson. As a child, she never had the opportunity of Easy Bake fun and wanted area kids to get an experience of independence, fun and play with baking. Her recipe for creating this heartwarming event includes: a scoop of determination, a sprinkle of generosity and a cup of passion for our children.
