Happy Halloween!

Wanted to say a quick thank you to the group of ladies that came to our meeting on Thursday! We didn't have a big group this time, but we had fun anyway...talking about the Day of Sharing, recent cakes, Holiday plans, and eating some candy apple cupcakes! 

Just a note, next month's meeting will be moved up a week to November 17th because of Thanksgiving. Mark your calendars!  

Halloween is just around the corner! At our Day of Sharing, Andrea had brought a gorgeous orange and black witch cake. She was featured in a couple publications, but the one from Half Baked was her favorite! Read all about it here.

Congratulations Andrea!

Hope everyone has a Happy Halloween...

and gets more treats than tricks! 

Three Ladies...and a Meeting

First up, I have to say a great BIG THANK YOU to everyone that came out on Sunday for our Day of Sharing!

We had a great time...learning new cake techniques, winning prizes, and spending time with cake friends! Thank you to our volunteers, your hard work was definitely appreciated! And to our demonstrators...it wouldn't have been a Day of Sharing without you, especially our very own SAGNFL members....Judy, Andrea, and Cathy! You ladies all did an amazing job and I can't wait to try your techniques out! And I have to give a special shout out to Simicakes, thanks for all your advice, your demo, and for being a vendor with some awesome products! 

Here are a couple pics from Sunday...

Judy getting ready for her demo...

 The rest of the pictures can be seen here!

That's not all!

 Don't forget we have our monthly meeting tomorrow, Thursday, October 27th at our usual time and place! Plus, I will be making some fab treats to snack on, perfect for the fall! As always, if you have anything you would like to share...pictures of your latest creations, samples to give to someone other than family, friends that may enjoy cakes and such, please don't hesitate to bring them to our meeting!

I will see you all tomorrow!
