I love attending cake shows. I've attended about 5 already, and truly love them! Not only is it an event all about cakes, but its also the travelling and seeing new areas that makes it 10 times more exciting. When I saw that my cake friends were planning a show just 30 minutes away from me, I immediately made it a MUST attend event. I also made a competition cake to take along with me.
Two months ago, the Garden State Cake Show took place in Burlington, NJ. I had friends competing both in the live and in the "bring a cake" part of the show, I had friends teaching, demonstrating and vending.
This may sound off track, but it will relate: Facebook is an awesome place. I get to connect with some of my favorite cake artists and build cyber-relationships with them. We feel as if we "know" each other just from social networking!
In New Jersey, I was able to meet some of my cake friends (that I socialize online with) such as Wayne and Chuck (the Swank boys) and Edna de la Cruz. I was able to see some of my other friends such as Carolina Lara and Diane Shavkin AND I saw my cake sister/soul mate, the yin to my yang, Jade Marzipan (hee hee)...
Cake shows are just plain ole FUN. Here I leave you with pictures of my cake!
Rafael for my 21st birthday I WANT THIS CAKE!!!! Save the date Sept 7th!
