First taste of the I.C.E.S. 2012 Convention
I started my day with a visit to the Registration Desk. The place was filled with the buzz of excitement and anticipation of what was to come in the following day. Here they were very welcoming and happy to spend the time to talk to you and go over everything in your Packet, from I.D. tag to Special Events invites and the all important Goodie Bag. Included in the Packet was a program of events, rules, maps and schedule.
The afternooon was spent planning my next few days so I could fit everything in. There were demos to book, cakes to see, the Cake Challenge to view and all those merchants to visit.
To finish my day off, the Convention held a First Timers' Orientation. During this Orientation we were introduced to many of the key people that have helped make this show happen. They went over all the rules and their expectations.
Demo: How to make a Fondant Crown
At the end we were treated to a demo by Carol Webb from Elegant Lace Impression. She showed us how to make a small fondant crown to add to the top of a cup cake. One of the tips she showed us was to use a round nozzle to punch holes in the crown and then you can fill those hloes with coloured sugar pearls, cashews, or even balls of fondant to help dress it up.
