United Cerebral Palsy filled the ballroom at Michael's On East with enough sweets to make Willy Wonka jealous Sunday, March 13 for the annual Chocolate Sundae fundraiser.  

Vendors included the Siesta Key Sweet Shop, Cafe Baci, Cakes by Ron and The Brownie Lady serving up their most delectable desserts. To balance the sweets there were also savory offerings from El Greco and Pizza SRQ.
