Looking For Something?

About Me

I am NOT a chef, culinary student, professional pastry chef or any other formally trained food manipulator. I am the co-owner of Crucial Element Productions and CAKE! Dessert Design Studio. I can plan it, cook it, bake it and make it look pretty. Did I mention I love to eat?! If they had a 12 step program for Cakaholism I'd probably need about 15 to kick the habit. Decided to let my addiction become my pastime and eventually my paycheck.

CakeWatch 2010: Maryland Cake Convention May 1-2

So.....
I know it's almost May and 2010 is reaching the halfway mark and I should've BEEN talking about the cake shows but better late than never. Besides, cake season is just picking up with wedding season kickin' into gear, graduations and all of the summer's many reasons to celebrate. So MAYBE I'm right on time lol!

The Maryland chapter of ICES - International Cake Explorers Societe (more about them tomorrow) is hosting its annual Great American Cake Show & Wedding Competition at the Shipley Arena of the Carroll County Agricultural Center, Westminster, MD. Formerly the Mid-Atlantic Cake Show, this event will consist of classes, demos, and competitions from cake greats such as Colette Peters and Silvina Barboza (she taught me how to scuplt!). There are also competition categories open to the public. They even have a teen division! I wish I had started that young lol. Well, it wasn't THAT long ago....I digress.

The event runs from 9am-5pm on both May 1 & 2 and is open to the public. Admission is more than reasonable:

$8 ages 12 and up
$5 ages 11 to 4
Children 3 and under are FREE (one of my favorite words)
$14 for a 2 day pass

Stop by if you're in the area or go make a mini vaca out of it. Either way I'm sure you'll learn a lot and have a great time.

Stay Cakin'!
