Hey Everyone
As I'm a self confessed obsessed baker if there is even a sniff of any baking related events nearby..(london) I'm there! Which is why its unsurprising that I was stalking the aisles of the cake international at The Excel last month.......stalking in a dedicated way not a creepy way.
Last year I attended the Cake +Bake show and was loitering the lobby with my twin trying to get last min tickets thankfully we did. I wasn't intending on doing that again so this trip was well planned. Like strategically I was armed with notes, snacks,camera, time + places of stall and demos I wanted to see. I was very proud of my self I have to say lol!
I spent a lot of money, places like that are dangerous for people like me. To make myself feel better they were things that were
1 Awesome
2 Totally necessary
3 On a very good deal
4 Where things I was planing to get online which would have come with delivery charges.
I spent quite a bit at Purple Cupcakes....I love that place and their brand everything about them is gorgeous! I bought their Impressit letters pack, a pretty embossed folder, and their swirly piping nozzel. I had received a delivery from them 2 days before I went to the Excel and errr..... went back for more!
Other purchases were 2 24 cupcake carriers the first was £12 and then I got the 2nd for 10. Which is a great deal normally those things are in the £24 region! A pack of colourfull cupcake cases,another nozzel, some flavourings and lastly some cute baby themed stamp/cutters. After a while I forbade myself from buying anything else!
I took loads of pics of the competition cakes there were loads of awesome cakes I stuck to the pretty ones more than the novelty ones... feast your eyes.
Aren't they gorgeous the detail on them was awesome, there are some very talented people out there. I wanted to just stay there.....it was so pretty there! Unfortunately I couldn't, I had take my bulky purchases and catch the tube home. FYI it was a pain in the arse carrying two cupcake carriers + plus 2 bags on a packed a train in rush hour. It was certainly worth it though, I had a very productive, informative and of course pretty day at the Cake international.
See ya x
