Get excited for the Dessert Dash!
A beloved St. Charles tradition, at our Dinner & Auction this Saturday we will have a beautiful Dessert Dash table filled with a variety of tempting treats which were donated by supporters of our event.
Thank you to Amy Ferguson for her hard work in organizing this and thank you to all of the bakers!
When you and your tablemates arrive at your dinner table at the Auction, each table member has the opportunity to add their bid to the table's Dessert Dash Bidder sheet. The total amount of your table's Dessert Dash Bid will determine where your table will fall in the Dessert Dash selection order. At dessert time, a representative from the table with the highest total bid gets to dash up and select their dessert first, then the second highest, and so on. Be sure to bid high so you get one of the first choices!
In the meantime, it's not too early for you to start thinking about what your table will have for dessert! Check out the descriptions below of the fabulous desserts that will be featured in this year's Dessert Dash!

It is then baked at a very low temp and left to dry overnight.
