Dairy Queen's OREO Ice Cream Cake
Dairy Queen will be attempting to set a Guiness World Record and Toronto will play host to the historic event. Yonge-Dundas Square will be undergoing a deep freeze on Tuesday, May 10, 2011 as a 21,000 pound Ice Cream Cake, modelled after Dairy Queen's signature OREO Blizzard Cake, is to be constructed on-site.

A record was set previously by Carvel with 12,096 pounds of Ice Cream Cake being constructed at New York City's Union Square Park in 2004.

The Celebration and serving of the Cake takes place from 12:00 to 2:00 PM, with its construction beginning in the morning.  There will be plenty to go around so let's help spread the word, Mavenati!

SickKids Hospital Collectors will be there to accept your generous donations, so don't forget to bring some cash along with that Sweet Tooth!

SARAH FERGUSON, HARVEY WEINSTEIN & MORE ATTEND MARCHESA GALA IN TORONTO


Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York & Mr. Will-W.
Suzanne Rogers, Toronto Fashionista and Wife of Cable Heir Edward, combined two of her greatest loves together for an ultra-exclusive Bash this evening at The Carlu. That is, her desire of Philanthropy and passion for Fashion - specifically Marchesa, which made its official Toronto debut tonight.  Proceeds from the Gala were to benefit the SickKids Hospital Foundation.

Co-founded in 2004 by Keren Craig and Georgina Chapman, who is known more in the public eye as the Wife of Movie Mogul Harvey Weinstein, the Brand is a Red Carpet favourite among Actresses.  Both Craig and Chapman arrived in Toronto for the festivities, doing Press out of their Yorkville Hotel earlier in the day before Rehearsals for the Show.  Accompanying Chapman of course was Weinstein, who is said to have taken care of Baby Daughter, India Pearl while Mommy was hard at work. 

Needless to say, guests of the Marchesa Gala this evening had nothing but rave reviews, with many taking to Twitter to express their excitement.
