This will be my third year competing in Semi Pro. Only Semi pro and up can compete in wedding cake. I stayed at the Hoilday in the first time and only time. We booked our room last December. I stay at the Candlewood suites. They have a mini kitchen great for last minute cake issues. HTH!

This will be my first trip. I'm not competing this year, just going to see everything in person.
