Kneading Conference 2025

In this talk, Natasha will share her insights and strategies gleaned from nearly a decades’ worth of fundraiser bake sales and culinary event production. How do these complicated, ambitious events come together? What tools do we already have, latent within us, to bring these ideas to life, no matter where we live or what resources we have available to us? We’ll discuss workable strategies and how to align your value system within budgetary, logistical, and philosophical parameters. We’ll review the fundamentals and nitty-gritty of event planning, from drafting a critical path to negotiating brand partnerships to chef curation to volunteer management. Together, we’ll write the perfect “recipe” to make your bake sale a reality.
