As you may or may not know I have been one of the 15 fortunate Foodbuzz bloggers selected to join Kelly Ripa in NYC for a special cake decorating event sponsored by Electrolux to help generate support for and awareness of the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund, whose mission is to fund research to find a method of early detection and ultimately a cure for Ovarian Cancer.

Congratulations on being chosen to attend this special event!
Nice giveaway and Congrats!!!
Can't wait to see you on tv. Sounds like a blast, and for a great cause. Congrats!
What a great cause! My grandmother died of ovarian cancer, and I had to smile when I saw the event was sponsored by Electrolux–my grandfather (her husband) sold Electrolux vacuums for many years.
What a great cause, congrats!!

There you go, I joined on Facebook and Twitter as well as tweeted it too.
I hope you have a lot of fun at this event. Excuse me for being curious but are all your expenses covered too? That would be even cooler though just participating in any way is pretty neat.
Of course, anything I win gets reviewed on The Chocolate Blog and how I got it gets extra promotion too. Another cookbook to review… I'm up to it!
Congratulations for being chosen for this event, you will make us all proud. It's a great cause to participate in and I hope we raise a lot of money.
I became a fan of Ovarian Cancer Research Fund, became a follower on twitter, and retweeted.
So awesome that you get to attend this wonderful event and spread awareness regarding OCRF!!! I just completed steps 1-4 to become eligible for your fab contest.
