ACA’s 3rd annual “All You Need is Cake” fundraiser invites families, friends, groups, couples from our community to partake in a charming evening of entertainment that will include cake art battles, donated cake auctions, live music, and improv games. The theme for this year’s All You Need is Cake fundraiser is “Celebrate Spring!” We invite audience members to dress in their best spring-themed attire for a chance to win the ‘Sweetest Dressed’ Prize. All You Need Is Cake is ACA’s kick-off event for 2025’s arts and culture programming, including our annual Antigonight:Art After Dark Festival, scheduled for September.
