Supposey Warehouse & Gardens served as the perfect backdrop for the Krewe of Swat’s fifth annual Bread Pudding Bake-Off benefiting the 4EVR DEZ Foundation on May 17.
The nonprofit works to provide the practical needs of teenage girls while also fostering their self-confidence, teaching healthy relationship skills, and establishing safe spaces for open dialogues through their initiatives such as Project Formal, Project Period, and the Teen Ambassador Program.
Presented by Troy Rafferty and Rafferty Domnick Cunningham & Yaffa, the event drew hundreds of community members, local leaders, and supporters for the female empowerment fundraiser. Guests sampled 13 varieties of bread pudding created by local businesses and community groups while enjoying live music from the White Tied Quartet, an expansive charcuterie spread, beverage stations, and opportunities to connect with foundation ambassadors.
Celebrity judges for the blind tasting competition included Sue Straughn, Jordan Glass, David Peaden, Andrew Hobbs, Lauren Merritt, Kim Gibbons, Steve Barber, and Troy Rafferty.
Before the evening concluded, WB Bakery was announced as the winner of both the judges’ choice and people’s choice awards for 2026. Organizers also revealed the event raised $69,000 — more than double the amount raised last year.
