Capital Confectioners July Newsletter
Greetings, Cakesters!
Another month has come and gone and we’re one month closer to our DOS which will take place on August 10th. We could use some volunteers for this event. If you’d like to volunteer your time to this or any other event we’re hosting, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Ellen Cromwell.

| Prizes, Prizes and More Great Prizes! We’ve promised you great prizes for our August 10th, DOS and we plan to deliver! This lovely item is just one of the many exciting prizes we have lined up for our raffle. We also have a super secret fantastic prize lined up for one lucky participant. I don’t want to spoil the surprise but it’s valued at $125! While you’re at it, don’t forget about the Two Sweet Sisters class. There are just a few spaces left in the class. If you’re an aspiring wedding cake designer, this class would be ideal for you. We are accepting donations to our raffle. If you’d like to contribute you can drop raffle items to us at our next meeting or contact us to make arrangements. Check out the valuable coupons at the bottom of this newsletter for some really great deals! |

I’m very excited to inform you that we have some new openings for two of Lorraine McKay’s upcoming workshops. If you wanted to attend Lorraine’s workshops and thought you’d missed out, you have another opportunity. There are openings in both the Teddy Bear workshop and the Dad & Me workshop. If you had your heart set on the Bride & Groom workshop Lorraine assures me you’ll learn enough in the Dad & Me workshop to be able to do the Bride & Groom. Not only that but you’ll learn to do a baby and a cat, among other things!
Thank you to Christina Craig for her wonderful demonstration on how to construct a cupcake bouquet! I can’t wait to try it out for myself!
