Cake Show Update
The Cake Show committee met last Tuesday prior to the Cake Club meeting. The Cake Show is coming up so fast now. With just 8 days to go things seem to be going along as planned. We have some wonder raffle items and participation levels are way up from last year.
One thing I’m not sure I mentioned before is that we’ll have a kids demonstration table. This hands-on demonstration will cost a small fee of $5 and kids will receive a gingerbread kit and help with assembling a Bunny House. I can’t wait to see the fun gingerbread houses the kids make!
We made a couple of small changes to the Show.
- Kids under 16 will get in free
- The Cakes in Bloom competition is now a 3-D Tiered Whimsical competition
- Earlene’s demo at the Showcase Demonstration on Sunday will now be Lace on Cakes
- Steven’s demo at the Showcase Demonstration will now be Easter Themed
- Nick’s demo at the Showcase Demonstration will now be on Patchwork Cutters
We changed the Cakes in Bloom competition because we only had a couple of people signed up for it and the number of gumpaste flowers required is costly. We think the 3-D tiered whimsical cakes will be very fun.
The Bunny House demonstration for kids will be held from 11am-2pm. Be sure to bring spending money. We have so many great raffle prizes, you’ll definitely want to buy plenty of tickets. Raffle tickets are going to run 15 for $10, I believe. We’ll also have a concession booth for drinks, popcorn and candy. The smell of all those cakes might make you hungry. Heh.
Entry into the Cake Show will be $5 for Saturday and $2 for Sunday. Sunday is cake viewing only. Saturday will have all the fun stuff!
If you’re a competitor, you need to drop off your cakes between 7am-10pm. 9am-9:30 tends to be the crunch time so you may want to arrive around 8am. If you’re a competitor or signed up for Sunday’s Showcase Demonstration, your entry into the Show is free.
Don’t worry about not being “good enough”. Your cakes are going to be judged against your peers, people at your same level of expertise. We welcome ALL levels of cake enthusiasts and children can participate free.
