cancer research to help manage and cure the disease.
It’s very personal for me as both of my parents are cancer survivors. My father was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1998 and successfully treated. My mother was recently diagnosed with uterine cancer and is recovering from treatment. Thanks to the current cancer treatment options, both are healthy. I’m so thankful to organizations like the Samuel Waxman Cancer Research Foundation who continue their research to make it possible for many cancer patients to live longer, healthier lives. What are you looking forward to most at this year’s event? I’m honored to be part of this event and am looking forward to celebrating the important work that
Magnolia Bakery’s Bobbie Lloyd Honored At A Hamptons Happening
By Jessica Mackin-Cipro
As part of Magnolia Bakery’s executive team, Bobbie Lloyd played a major role in expanding Magnolia Bakery from its original location in New York City’s West Village to locations worldwide.
Lloyd brings the homemade feel of Magnolia Bakery to customers through her desserts and has perfected many classic American dessert favorites. She also shared her expertise as a judge on season four of “Next Great Baker” and as a guest judge on “Cupcake Wars.”
On August 5, Lloyd will be honored at this year’s “A Hamptons Happening” benefit for the Samuel Waxman Cancer Research Foundation. The event is held in Bridgehampton and supports the Waxman’s mission of eradicating
cancer by funding cutting-edge research that identifies and corrects abnormal gene function that causes cancer. Tell us about your involvement with the Samuel Waxman Cancer Research Foundation and your thoughts about the importance of cancer research. This is my first time being part of the event. I’m excited to be able to help bring more awareness to the foundation and to help raise funds for this very important and personal cause. As someone who has had friends and family affected by cancer, I am passionate about the importance of continued
the Samuel Waxman Foundation conducts on a daily basis. What are some of your favorite summer dishes? Summer is by far one the best of food seasons - especially in The Hamptons. The availability of a huge variety of local produce and seafood opens up a world of creative possibilities. I love anything done on the grill, including desserts. Simple grilled peaches drizzled with honey over a bowl of homemade vanilla ice cream is heaven on earth. Pizza on the grill with tomatoes still warm from the sun is beyond perfect.
