The ARTSwego Performing Arts Series Presents: Makin' Cake

Posted on March 4, 2026

Dasha Kelly Hamilton, a black woman, sits behind a wooden table. On the table is a red, white, and blue cake that reads "Makin Cake" in red and blue frosting. The background of the image is bright red, and the title of the performance, "Makin' Cake: A conversation on race, class, culture, and cake" floats above Dasha's head.

Slice into American history, culture, race, and class with Dasha Kelly Hamilton's Makin' Cake at SUNY Oswego on Wednesday, March 11th, at 7PM!

Filled with aha-moments and poignant vignettes, this show serves up an experience and a conversation about equity in America, exploring race, culture, and class in a refreshing and fun way. It is storytelling in layers. Part history lesson, part social science revelation, and featuring a cast of two on-stage bakers, Makin’ Cake is a short story about the nation’s sweet tooth and a pathway to salvation, leaving room for dessert and dialogue following the performance.

The evening will conclude with a Cake Reception featuring baked goods by JonJohn's Bakery, because no meaningful conversation should end without dessert.

This is a FREE, ticketed event, and it is open to the public. Use the link below to reserve your spot!

Makin' Cake is presented in partnership with the “I am Oz” Diversity Speaker Series at SUNY Oswego.
