Day of Sharing 2012
Capital Confectioners would like to thank all our demonstrators, vendors, donors, volunteers, and audience members for making our 2012 Day of Sharing so wonderful! Our 2012 theme was Holidays. Here’s a re-cap for those who had to miss out (we missed you too!):
First up was Austin’s own Yvette Humbert, who shared her techniques for making “New Year’s Eve” party heels using tulle. This kit and several more are available on her website here.
Next was Dawn Parrott from Houston and her filigree Christmas ornaments piped with Royal Icing. Be sure to check out her new dvds!
Kathleen Lange showed us several Lambeth techniques to sweeten up any Valentine’s day. Kathleen travels throughout the country with her special Lambeth Boot Camp classes.
For a special mom-to-be, here is Ximena Sempertegui‘s chic baby carriage cake topper. Her kits are available through her website here.
Last but not least was Alan Dunn‘s Fall Floral display. We were thrilled to have Alan visit from across the pond. Alan introduced us to working with cold porcelain.
For lunch we had some absolutely scrumptious tacos from the Peached Tortilla. If a craving hits you, check out their website for their food truck locations!
Thank you to all the club members and volunteers who contributed to the holiday treat filled dessert table!
Congratulations to our own Ellen Cromwell for winning this year’s “Heart of the Club” award! Ellen, thank you for all that you do for us!
Thanks again for all who attended! Here is our photo slide show:
