| We are hard at work on our 2012 That Takes the Cake Sugar Art Show and Cake Competition! Instructor & Vendor applications are rolling in. We have so many great classes coming, you’ll have a hard time choosing! Next year’s theme is “Renaissance” and as you can see from the art at the top of the page the show will be called Cake-a-Lot. As usual we allow you to interpret our showcake theme in the broadest sense. Think castles, dragons, knights or beautiful renaissance architecture, it’s up to you! We look forward to seeing what you dream up.. Stay tuned for upcoming class listings. |
