t went really well. So much fun. It was crazy though. They told us 500 brides. So I made 1000 cupcakes. They were gone in 3 hours!! They had 2000 people show up!! Crazy eh? The brides went ga-ga over the mini-cupcakes. Weird :wrong: I think I'm going to have brides ordering that out the butt!

I did make one mistake. I was taking bookings for consults. And I booked up a whole day (this Saturday) but its my DD's birthday. Oops. :OMG: Good thing she's three and won't know the difference. icon_lol.gif

I gave out around 500 business cards. (I knew how many were in each box).

Anyways, here's some pictures. I think I'm going to be busy! There are only 2 lisenced decorator's in my town. I had a great time with the two girls from the other bakery. We were back and forth to each other's booths talkin' cake! icon_wink.gif

Here's my booth set up, I had my cakes all along the back wall, it was great, because Brides came into the booth and walked along the table. It made it easy to stop them and talk to them. ( was sharing a double booth with two other girls).

Here's the cakes I brought:

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!
I appreciate how you offered so many different styles and options, and gave brides some new ideas as well.
Here's to an overwhelmingly busy year for you!

Sugar bean, may all your hard work pay off for you! Your cakes look amazing! Very nice work. The booth looks amazing! Isn't it nice to network with other cake makers?

It sounds like you had a busy, fun but very productive day!

and, yes, your daughter won't know the difference, just make sure that YOU can deal with it..lol...

Since, I've always worked in jobs that never allowed me to have those special family days, I became very creative at making every day "special"...

my kids and I would even have "SUNDAY TEAS"..lol

Thanks Cakesunleashed!
We had a great time at the show, and we gave out tons of cards as well. It's going to be a very busy summer!! I'm looking forward to Friday, Lindsay and I are in the same gumpaste flower course together, I think it's going to be a hoot!!

I bet it WILL be a hoot! Sounds like you all get along fine-and-dandy! You will have to keep all of us posted on all that you have learned.

Remember: Some of us, (ahem), well okay, that would be me! (We) I haven't had any training so (We) I (are) am living vicariously through you! LOL!!!!!!! So, spread the word, fellow CC Sista's when you learn, "What's new!"

Can't wait!
