New York City may be known for its myriad of posh bakeries, cupcake hot spots and sought-out dessert destinations, but tomorrow, there will be just one place to go to find the ultimate collection of sweet treats: Grand Central Terminal. Sandra Lee is lending her voice to Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry campaign and hosting the World’s Largest Bake Sale alongside fellow Food Network chefs Guy Fieri and Bobby Flay, plus Martha Stewart, Mario Batali, Emeril Lagasse and others. In the heart of Manhattan at this 100-year-old landmark, these food superstars will dish out thousands of classic and creative baked goods donated by local chefs, and all proceeds will benefit Share Our Strength as they work to end childhood hunger in America.
Want to pick up a few treats and meet Sandra, Bobby and Guy? Support Share Our Strength’s World’s Largest Bake Sale by stopping by Vanderbilt Hall in Grand Central Terminal in New York City from 10 am until 7 pm tomorrow, May 1. If you’re not in the area or can’t make it to Grand Central tomorrow, read more about the event and find out how you can help the #WorldsLargestBakeSale on Twitter.
When you think of desserts, cookies, cakes, cupcakes and brownies usually come to mind first. But at Sandra Lee’s recent Sweet! event at the New York City Wine & Food Festival, the real star of the show was ice cream.

Diana Hardeman of MilkMade Ice Cream offered up scrumptious cranberry chocolate chip ice cream. Handcrafted with big hunks of both cranberry and chocolate, this homage to fall wasn’t your average pint.
Taking a more classic approach with an unexpected twist, Le Bernadin’s Chocolate Pink Peppercorn Ice Cream Sandwiches contained just the right kick of spice to bring out the subtle flavor of the chocolate sandwich base.
