Hey LA peeps, got any plans for the weekend? Whaddya say to baking a birthday cake for The Shore Hotel's one year anniversary? What's that—you're actually a pretty dab hand in the kitchen? Well then, this might interest you, as the Santa Monica hotel is giving away a $1/night room to the person who bakes them the best birthday cake*, no singing required.

Meanwhile, here's a (not so) small consolation prize for those of you who like food and like hotels but don't want to do any of the work: Eater LA reports that the Shore's highly-anticipated restaurant, Blue Plate Taco—which we've been drooling over for, oh, about a year now—has finally opened.

The taco shop, which is a spin-off of LA's Blue Plate and Blue Plate Oysterette, ought to provide some tasty snacks to go along with poolside lounging at the beachy hotel. As we earlier speculated, the kitchen will turn out yummy, fresh fare like lobster truffle tacos, ceviche, and salmon belly chilaquiles—not to mention seasonal fruit-infused maragaritas.

With so much build up behind the hotel's taco restaurant, and now this cake baking contest, we sense a strong food theme emerging here. Which is just fine by us, hotel restaurant aficionados that we are.

*As the cake-baking contest rules go, all cakes need to be delivered to the hotel this Sunday October 7 between 10am and 7pm. The contest is open to both guests and fans of the hotel, but all entries must be from folks over the age of 18. Sorry, toddlers and teenagers, no $1/night hotel rooms for you.
