SoFlo also hosted Jordan, an 8 year old baking enthusiast who is battling cancer and deserved a day of fun. Jordan was given the chance to judge the cake competition alongside Chef Nicholas Lodge and the esteemed panel of judges. Sachiko Windbiel, the owner of Mimi Cafe Union, gave him a special one on one cake sushi making class. After his private class, Jordan had the opportunity to sit on stage during Yolanda Gampp's Emoji Challenge. Jordan, his mother, and little sister spent the day at SoFlo learning new baking techniques and checking out what the vendors and teachers had to offer.
