I have been meaning to write about the first show I went to last Wednesday, but it has been crazy busy with the my wedding and the bakery.

The show was great! I really did not know what to expect, but Crystal from Weddings Unveiled was so incredibly helpful that I felt I was as prepped as I could be. I showed up at 4pm to set up – got the table all done with my books of sample cakes (done by my fiance – and they were awesome. I’ll take a pic and post so you can see), dummy cake, and samples. I made so many samples!! I took three flavors – Italian cream cake, vanilla cake with lemon curd, and chocolate cake with coffee cream cheese frosting.

After setting up, I cruised around to check out the other vendors and it was very exciting. There were several photographers, caterers, and florists. It was really fun seeing what everyone else had brought for their tables, so that way I have some ideas for next time.

Then they started letting the brides in! That is when it got really fun. Luckily, my fiance came by after work to help me so I wasn’t there all by myself. All the brides were so nice and sweet and they seemed to be glowing!! There were several times within the couple hours that I had a line for people wanting cake. And many people came back for seconds. I got great reviews on my cake. People were surprised at how moist they were, even tho they were cut up into 1in x 1in pieces. So hopefully I will see some of the brides for tastings over the next few months!!

Overall, it was a great experience and I learned a whole lot. Can’t really ask for more than that!
