Cake baking/tasting event for the blind.. please read on! (self.Blind)
submitted by shasha_neequa
Hi! I'm new to this subreddit and I wanted to introduce myself and get some feedback on an idea I have. I really would appreciate your feedback. My name is Shanee, I am a college student in Newark NJ and I am independently working on a community project for the blind and visually impaired.
For two years I worked for a Braille transcribing company and lead the Nemeth translation team. We specialized in producing detailed graphics to accompany textbooks and school work. I really enjoyed my job but I never interacted with our customers or directly heard their input. Here's where my project comes in.
I want to have an event designed for blind people to express themselves artistically. As a foodie, an event centered around taste comes to mind. I would love to either have a baking event, or cake/cookie decorating event, and a final tasting event of exotic desserts.
I'm still in the designing phase so I really would appreciate your input. Even if you hate the idea I want to hear it, and please let me know what I can improve :)
Thank you! ❤️

Who's going to be the judge? Prisoners on death row?

Oh god hahah I meant we would have premade desserts, and have our blind people taste and judge them. This would follow the cookie/cake decorating

Oh. That'll be a lot less fun for spectators. How much do you hope to charge to watch?

The commute would be a bitch. Are you going to marry me so I can emigrate to New Jersey?
