Milk Bar: Birthday Cake
Founded by James Beard award-winning pastry chef Christina Tosi, Milk Bar is a sweet (and occasionally savory) shop that’s been turning familiar treats upside down and on their heads, shaking up the dessert scene since 2008.

The bestselling Birthday Cake is three tiers of rainbow-flecked vanilla Birthday cake layered with creamy Birthday frosting, crunchy Birthday crumbs, and rainbow sprinkles. Tastes like childhood.

Farmgirl Flowers: The Just Right Wrapped Bouquet
Founded by Christina Stembel, Farmgirl Flowers is a company dedicated to using only the best flowers grown in the U.S. with a natural, delicate aesthetic.

The Just Right Bouquet is designed in house with love, this stunner combines 25 stems of gorgeous blooms, fun foliage, and bits, and is wrapped up in our original upcycled, biodegradable coffee bags! We use a modern, fun mix of the highest quality flowers and design them into our signature whimsical, “just picked from the garden” look that we’re known for.

Mental Paint by Hannah Ricke: Original Book Inspired Artwork
Hannah Ricke is the owner and artist of Mental.Paint. Using the gift of her grandmother’s typewriter, she creates one of a kind analogue (hand-cut) collage pieces from recycled books and enhances them with acrylic paint and liquid gold. All her work is one of a kind. Today’s raffle will include a custom 8×10 art piece inspired by this month’s book.

How the Pick Party Raffle Works
All participants will be assigned a raffle number upon entry. Towards the end of the Pick Party event, we’ll raffle off the prizes above.

And don’t worry if you forget your raffle number, you can always find it in the upper right hand corner of your screen once you are in the event.

Good Luck!
