Teaching at ICES Convention 2010

This year the ICES (International Cake Exploration Societe) Convention is in San Diego, California. Since I live in Utah and am fairly close to where the convention is being held compared to previous years, I knew that I was going to attend the convention. I have been an instructor locally here in Utah for several years and I have been wanting to branch out. So, I decided to apply for an instructor position for the convention. I hoped to be accepted, but I understood that there are a limited number of teachers and many applicants.

To my great surprise, I was accepted as an instructor. I have been chosen to teach Shadow Stenciling with Brushed Embroidery; a technique that I used on my Love Letters cake that won 3rd runner up at the OSSAS.

I feel totally honored to have been accepted as one of 26 hands-on instructors for the largest cake decorating convention in the country.

Monday, March 1st was the first day of registration for the ICES convention. I was not able to register until late that night due to a funeral for my husband’s grandmother. However, I was informed that night that my class was one of two classes that had sold out by midday. I was speechless. I suppose I am a little more well known and knowledgeable than I give myself credit for. I am thrilled for this opportunity and am blown away by the reception I have received into the world of cakes. Thank you to everyone who signed up for my class and my apologies to those who want to to sign up but didn’t get the opportunity. I suppose I need to be offering more classes.
