Corporate Events by Kareem Youngblood

Where Baking Becomes an Experience

From fundraisers to brand activations, I design immersive dessert-driven experiences that bring teams together, create unforgettable moments, and elevate your event beyond the expected.

This featured gallery highlights a corporate fundraiser I conceptualized and produced for Opportunities for a Better Tomorrow (OBT) at NY Cake in NYC.

It wasn’t just a tasting.
It was an experience.

Let’s build something unforgettable.
