A Sweet Life Cakery

Just a quick note regarding the ICES Day of Sharing held this past weekend.  If you are not familiar with ICES, it is an amazing organization of cake decorators, professions, novice sugar artists and everyone in between.  If interested in further information visit www.ices.org.

I was amazed how many people are into creating cakes.  The room was packed with people of all skill levels.  It was nice to sit amongst other Cake Junkies like myself and talk about different ideas about how to's on certain techniques.  There were many demonstrations by people who volunteered their time.  It was very nice of them to share their talents with us all.

In addition to the demonstrations, there were tables of  sugar works that the attendees brought in.  It's always amazed me how diversified cake artists can be and how everyone's eye is different in the way they see the art of cake.  There were some really beautiful cakes and other items as well.

Last but not least, there were several vendors. ((((Yahoo))))  I have to say this is on of my favorite parts.  I could probably shop all day looking through cake stuff as I am always looking to add some type of tool to my bag of tricks.  I found a couple of really unique cake tools and bought a magazine from Argentina.  What talent is held within the pages of this magazine! 

So, in a nutshell, that was the ICES Day of Sharing.  I had a great time and it was a nice mental break for me.  Back to work for me!
