It's time for camp... CAKE CAMP!
Summer Camp is Better with Cake!
Who didn't love summer camp as a kid? Well, ok, probably a lot of kids, but only because they were too young to go to CAKE CAMP!! Every other year the California Cake Club hosts the weekend-long Cake Camp, and guess what? The 15th Cake Camp is this year: August 13-16, 2015, in Las Vegas, Nevada! There are demos, classes, and a vendor area (code for shopping!). There will be about 18 different retail booths in the vendor area, including our ever popular International Sugar Art Collection booth! There will be 29 wonderful instructors this year teaching a variety of techniques; all skill level classes will be offered, so there are classes for beginningers, experts, and everyone in between! Oh, and guess who will be teaching three 1-day flower classes at Cake Camp? That would be Chef Nicholas Lodge!
Chef Nicholas: Camp Counselor
Chef Nicholas will be teaching a class each day of Cake Camp, offering instruction for a total of eight flowers! On Friday the class will include the Tuberose, Love-in-a-Mist, and the Oriental Peony. On Saturday students (or should I say campers) will learn how to create the Avalanche Rose, Bride Protea, and the timeless Calla Lily. Both the Friday and Saturday classes are 8am-5pm, with an hour allocated for lunch. On Sunday Chef Nicholas will be giving instruction on the Bells of Ireland and Bouvardia; this class will be from 8am-12pm. As with classes offered by Chef Nicholas, all tools and supplies necessary to complete the projects will be provided, as well as detailed instructions, photos, and diagrams. All students who complete the classes will receive certificates signed by Chef Nicholas. Registration is open to sign up for Chef Nicholas' classes at Cake Camp! Registration is open, but do sign up quickly, as Cake Camp is very popular, and classes sell out fast!

Before I say goodbye, I have two final bits of info to share. First, the generous folks over at American Cake Decorating magazine shared a link exclusively for Chef Nicholas and ISAC fans! If you CLICK HERE you can get a very special price on their amazing magazine! We love ACD- even more so since Chef Nicholas has been featured in their recent issues as an editorial writer! Take advantage of this offer, this magazine really offers lots of tips, tricks, and great inspriations! Second, the ICES Convention is celebrating its 40th year! ISAC will be there in force; Chef Nicholas will be teaching, and we will have a booth in the vendor section! I'll be talking more about ICES in next week's blog, but please be sure to mark your calendar to meet us in Omaha, NE July 30-August 2, 2015! Registration is now open, so be sure to sign up!
Sweetly yours,
