Great Events Coming Up!

This is such an exciting time of year!  The holidays are right around the corner and there are 2 very exciting events coming up that I just have to tell you about!

The first one starts today, Thursday, November 7 and goes through Sunday, November 10 in Atlanta, Georgia.   I’m talking about the Ultimate Sugar Show’s Baking Supply Expo and Cake Competition which takes place in conjunction with the Business Conference for Sweets Industry Professionals also known as The Sweet Makers Industry Conference.  Now, I know that is a mouth full when it comes to naming cake shows, but stay with me because I think this is definitely one to attend.  There are so many classes, demos, and things to learn at this convention.  There will be special demonstrations and presentations by many well-known cake artists like Ron Ben-Israel, Joshua John Russell, Holly Broussard and Reva Alexander-Hawk, just to name a few.

And let’s not forget the Vendor area.  There will be vendors from all over the country at the show who are excited to show you all their great products.  Some vendors will be at their booths demonstrating their products so you can see first-hand how to use them.  Yes, in case you were wondering, ISAC, Chef Nicholas and all the Flower Pro products will be on hand for you to see and purchase!  I’m super excited about this show, because I am going to be at this one and I can’t wait!  Hurray!  I get to see, first-hand, all the toys, cakes and confections and so much fun everyone is going to have the whole weekend!!  Can you say “sugar overload?”  If you are coming to the show, please stop by the ISAC booth and say Hello!  I would love to meet you!  You can find out more about the show and register here – Ultimate Sugar Art Show.

The second event to tell you about is the ISAC Grand Holiday Open House.  This event is only a few weeks away.  Have you signed up?  This is another one of those “don’t you dare miss it” events.  It is sure to get you in the holiday spirit.  There are going to be so many great baking and decorating ideas that can be used on your holiday cakes, cookies, confections and so much more.  WOW, more sugar overload!!

There will also be 3 special guest instructors on hand to show you some very creative ideas for the holidays.

First up is, Roshell Ingraham of “My Sweet Connection & Divine Baking Divas” who will be demonstrating Snow Globe cookies and Cakesicles.  You can learn all about Roshell and her beautiful work on her Facebook page.  My Sweet Connection

Here are some photographs of her Cakesicles work.  This may not be the exact work you will see at the Open House, but this stuff is so amazing, you won’t want to miss it no matter what it is!

 

 

The second demonstration will be Donald Joiner, owner of “Cake Boy Confections”.  He will be demonstrating “Royal Icing Embroidery work for Gingerbread Houses”.  Check out his Facebook page for more information.  Cake Boy Confections.

And here are some photographs of the project Donald will be demonstrating. 

 

The next demonstration will be Steven Stellingwerf author of “The Gingerbread Book”.  He will be presenting something very “delicious” for the holiday.

AND last, but not least, Chef Nicholas will be demonstrating how to use some of the new molds from Katy Sue Designs for quick & easy holiday decorations and so much more! 

There are three 3-hour sessions to choose from.  Each session is the same, so find one that works for your schedule and sign up!  A $15 registration fee is required to hold your seat, and you will receive a $5.00 credit on any purchase made during the Holiday Open House.

Here are some photographs from previous Holiday Open House events.  There is so much to see, you will not want to miss this event.  Reserve your seat today by calling 770-453-9449 or click on this link.  ISAC Grand Holiday Open House Registration
