Welcome!

Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope all of you are having a great day. As a special treat, I’m including a video Deb Smith made from some photos I took at the Oklahoma Sugar Art Show a couple years ago.

Site Spotlight: Great Cake Bake

Imagination Library in East Tennessee is holding its 2nd annual Great Cake Bake on Saturday, March 26, 2011. All local bakers and cake makers are invited to participate. Am I planning to participate? No…. But I would love to go check out the fantastic cakes. The event will take place at the Tennessee Terrace in UT’s Neyland Stadium, and funds raised will be used to support Imagination Library. The library sends free books to Knox County children through the mail until they are five years of age.

Entries will be accepted for:

All Occasion Cake

Wedding Cake

Single Cupcake

(New this year, the All Occasion and Wedding cakes will be separated into different groups: buttercream frosting only and fondant/gum paste/mixed sugar art.)

Entry divisions include junior decorator, beginner, intermediate, and professional. The entry fee is $10, and the entry must be received by March 14.

Complete rules and photographs of last years’ cakes may be seen at the event’s website.

Make plans now to attend or to compete in the Oklahoma Sugar Art Show October 3-4, 2009 in Tulsa. Here’s a slideshow made up of photos I took at last year’s show.

Visit the Oklahoma Sugar Art Show site if you’re interested in participating in the show and to see additional photos of beautiful cakes.
