KSCVK’s Second Annual ‘Ice Cream Social’!

Crown Heights, Brooklyn — Yesterday evening Keren Simchas Chosson VeKallah held its second annual ‘Ice Cream Social’.

An extensive gallery of all the beautiful cakes along with a list of the cakes and the amounts they were auctioned off for can be seen in the Extended Article!

There was an ice cream buffet, both Milchig and Pareve which was served with all different types of toppings. Hot apple turnovers, warm chocolate chip cookies, waffles, mouth watering cheesecakes and beautifully arranged fruits were just a few of the large variety of things to savor.

    cool i was there i saw most of the cakes and the pink clock actually moved!!

  • SaraG

    The list is actually in order of the auction; it does NOT correspond to the number of each cake.

    For example, I baked #13, the Chocolate Mud Cake, but it was auctioned off 43rd.

  • nosher

    Great party, fun.
    Tamborine cake your number “one”!
    Chev, your tambourine rocks!

  • RBA

    I think that cake number 5 – the teapot – is by far the most original – I would have made that first prize if I was in charge :)

  • nosher

    Great party, fun.
    Tamborine cake your number “one”!
    Chev, your tambourine rocks!

  • Woweeee!

    Gorgeous cakes, all of them!
    Special mention for the “picture perfect” cake–original idea, and beautifully done!

  • Friend

    Cakes were really awesome. The girl who made the REAL clock cake and THE chocolate chess set is really good. You should see different cakes she makes every time someone gets engaged or has a baby. Totally AWESOME.

    She should totally go into the business.

  • Yaffie

    Wow so unbelievably impressive. THanks for sharing it on the web.

  • Sarah R

    The chess set was the nicest of them all. I wish that I could make it. Whoever made it has a lot of talent.

  • proud mom

    Esty, you look adorable. faigy you look so cute…both of you helping out for such a good cause. i am so proud of you.

  • Y&S

    Tzivia Lehrer’s Stained Glass Cake (#17) is the best cake by far. It is a work of art. YEAH TZIVIA :)

  • Beautiful

    Look how much talent there is in our community! Beautiful job. Great idea.

    I can’t wait to see what next year’s cakes will look like!!!

  • Tea Drinker

    I also liked the teapot…I bet it tastes as good as it looks!

    Congrats to everyone who baked!

  • An admirer

    Devorah, you are a constant inspiration to the whole community! Thank you for allowing me to be part of such a beautiful mitvah and in YOUR zechus may all those who are in need of Shidduch find their bashert quickly & clearly! Amen! Moshiach Now!

  • Every Cake was wonderful

    It was so hard to vote for the five best. They were all so good! Don’t forget that 17 girls that bought cakes last year got married within the year. may all of you unmarrieds that bid on cakes for a segulah come next year wearing sheitels! I think we should expand this into other communities. Imagine Devorah how much KSCVK can make if we get other communities involved!

  • Your Shabbos guests

    Picture perfect takes the cake it’s got by far the most work and creativity I’m sure Mendy was a great help

  • The castle cake fans (fam)

    I think that by far the castle cake rocked!!!!!

  • out-of-towner

    what i really like is that everyone was willing to buy other people’s home-made cakes. no kashrus nitpicking, just trust.

    BRAVO!

  • Chani Vogel

    Etel,#1 who would expect anything less? Kosheh kikrias yam suf, not for you! May Hashem continue to bentch you with talent that you so wisely use letoivas haklal.
    Thanks Webby for sharing, you bring a little bit of Kan tziva to the west coast, and to all those fantastic bakers out there, der zchus zol dir beishtein!

  • Riva

    the only cake that had TOCHEN is the “its naver to late” cake, all others are nice but without TOCHEN, I think that the TOCHEN of the cake is to be judged as well, aside for the fact that the cake is very nice.

  • Cassy

    Ma
    glad your function went well.
    sorry i wasnt there to help but im in China.
    see you all soon

  • friend

    the winning cake was made by etel hurwitz i seem to recall she won first place last year as well

  • yocheved

    do you have to sell the clock cake if you keep it for pesach?

  • esty fan

    hey esty and faigy you guys rock! we love you! your cousins on montgomery

  • meemabrina

    Thank you Dvora Binyaminson. It just comes to show what one person can accomplish if they want to.

    We all can learn from her.

    I would have liked to know the names of the BAKERS. I think, that for next year, their names should be up there with their creations.

  • Leah

    The event was beautiful and the cakes were definitely stunning, but I think it is pathetic that no one has mentioned (nor did the article) the incredible speech that was given by Sara Esther Crispe and the powerful message that it had. Someone commented that there was no toichen in regards to the cake, how about focusing on the toichen of the event itself? The speech was the CAKE the rest was just the icing…

  • Mina Green

    100%, the only cake with TOCHEN is the “its never to late” cake, next year TOCHEN is to be the #1 thing for winner.

  • someone

    chaya hott did the chess set and the pink clock! she should go into the business………….tried to convince her that! Her work is acutally designing logos and things along that line.

  • cakes

    yes i agree picture perfect cake has got the most creativity and originality, lots of talent there

  • Chaya

    All the cakes were amazing and so beautiful it would be a shame to eat them. I think that all the cakes had “tochen” and a positive message, and the very fact that the women put so much time and effort into baking a cake for the benefit of hachnosas kallah is all the tochen you need, regardless of how the cake actually looked.

    It was so hard to pick only the top five–I actually used up my raffle tickets before I got to see all the cakes. Is the list the order of the winners?

  • mancy city

    hey iam from england and seriously i have never seen sure cooool cakes that are edabile(just kiddin i have but those are something else)gr8 job keep it up !!!

  • No Tochen???

    Simchas Chosson Vikallah
    Basi Ligani
    …Kasha Kikriyas Yam Suf
    Binyan Adei Ad
    Gam Tzipor Matza…
    Badchan
    Bishaah Tova Umutzlachas

    And how about all the cakes that had messages of simcha, mazal tov, love? (absolute pair, picture perfect, c & k mazal tov, and many more…..) Almost ALL the cakes had beautiful Tochen and they were stunning as well!!! Yasher koach to Devorah Benjamin and all the people who helped out and those who baked cakes. it was an absolutely beatiful event!

  • To Yocheved & Chaya

    The clock would have to be sold for Pesach. It is CAKE.

    The list is the order of winning cakes.

    1. Krias Yam Suf – $1,600
    2. Chess Set – $1,900
    3. Chosson Kallah Cake – $1,200

    Some cakes only went for so much money because there were groups of 10-15 girls bidding together. For example the tambourine cake and the “tichel” cake were auctioned off much later but with a lot of girls together they were able to come up to that some total.

  • cake

    wow guys are artists and you guys rock so much i can not stop saying that

  • sugar

    they are realllllllllllllllllllly cute, beautiful,adorable and most of all i liked the pink clock!

  • oot

    wow all the cakes were beautiful, but I like the chess set and the clock the best.

  • devorah

    it is nice to give compliments on the cakes, but what’s the point of saying which is the best, it does not make the others feel good
    think of how much time it takes for each cake to be made, you don’t know how much effort went into each one and by saying one is the best it only makes someone else feel bad
    and about the cakes having toichen, i can’t think of more toichen than a cake baked for hachnossas kalla

  • brocha

    There’s only one word to describe it all: Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

  • gr8

    the ones i liked the best were: 1,3,4,5,6,7,9,10,11,12,15,17,19,20,21,25,26,42,36,33,31.41,44,35,29,28,45,46,38,37,39.
