The 4th Annual Capital Confectioners Cake & Sugar Art Show & Competition is now just over 30 days away. We have over 100 competitors already registered and we expect to see more than 1000 attendees! This is going to be our biggest and best Cake Show yet.

We have some incredible celebrities lined up this year. If you’re a Food Network geek like I am, you’ll recognize some or all of these names:

Bronwen Weber, Executive Pastry Chef, Frosted Art in Dallas, TX, her cake designs are featured in Brides Magazines, & many cake magazines and is a current teacher & Food Network Challenge Star!

Nicholas Lodge, Chef, founder of the International Sugar Art Collection, Author, Food Network Judge, and commissioned to do work for England’s Royal Family and created the wedding cake for Lady Diana and Prince Charles!

Earlene Moore, Author, renowned Texas Sugar Artist and Teacher, her cake designs have been featured in American Cake Decorating Magazine.

Autumn Carpenter, a skilled Sugar Artist, teacher and author of a number of confectionery sugar arts books. Also, Granddaughter of the owners of Country Kitchen Cake & Candy Suppliers.

If you’re a cake enthusiast at any level, don’t be intimidated, sign up now! Children are also encouraged to participate.

The event will take place on the 23rd & 24th of February at the Texas Star Meeting Event Center in South Austin. Entry on Saturday the 23rd will cost $5 and will include informal demonstrations, viewing of the entries, raffle prize drawings, cake competitions and specialty vendors. There will even be an Easter Bunny Gingerbread House building workshop for a small $5 fee to cover the cost of the gingerbread and candy.

On Sunday you can get in to view the cakes for just $2 but you’ll miss out on all the other fun. Unless, of course, you sign up for the Showcase Demonstrations! The Showcase Demonstrations will feature a 45 minute presentation by each of our celebrity guests who will be sharing expert tips and techniques. The Showcase Demonstration package will include a continental breakfast as well as lunch. Cost for the Showcase Demonstration is $90 and you can sign up on our website.

If you’re a local vendor and you sell anything confectionery related, we’d love to have you sign up for a vendor booth.

Feel free to contact me with any questions. For more details, check out our website.

Hey fellow Texans, come on over to Austin and join in the fun!
