CSM Bakery Products is becoming a key ingredient in ending childhood hunger by locally sponsoring Share Our Strength's Baking Contest for No Kid Hungry® on Tuesday, March 5, 2013 at Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Atlanta.

Lynn Kuczajda, Corporate Culinary Manager at CSM Bakery Products, will represent the company by sitting on the judging panel during the contest. "I'm very passionate about the industry and I'm really looking forward to seeing the creativity of others in this field while also supporting such a great cause," Kuczajda said.

This kickoff event for Share Our Strength's tenth annual Bake Sale for No Kid Hungry will feature professional pastry chefs, amateurs, culinary students and children vying to win the title of “Atlanta’s Best Dessert.” All proceeds will benefit Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry® campaign, which is ending childhood hunger in this nation by ensuring all children get the healthy food they need, every day.

Guests attending the contest can sample the sweet creations of some of Atlanta’s best pastry chefs, sip delicious wines and bid in a silent auction.
