BRIDAL EXPO

This was our finished booth.

I was really happy with how it turned out!

My daughter Jenny was over the decorating.

This Tiffany Blue Cake had Jenny's

beautiful handmade Orchids on it!

I do not know why we did not get a picture of it finished!

I think this Dammask Cake was our Show Piece!

It took Jenny and I about 6 hours to Airbrush it.

It was really beautiful! 8 tiers high.This is a picture of the cake before the roses.

You could do so many fun things with it at this point.

The Purple Cupcake Tower also showcased Jennys Flowers

These cherry blossoms were darling!

150 Cupcakes

I thought the wheat grass was soooo cute!

Jenny designed and made this cake,

but did not really like

how it turned out.....

I thought it was fun!

This cake was simplistic and pretty...

Jenny handmade all the butterflies.

The orange was airbrushed on the sides only.

The blue flowers were lined with piping.

Contemporary! Once again this is Jenny's Cake Design.

She airbrushed all the layers and

handmade all the flowers.

It was really elegant.So we decided to do the Bridal Expo and in 2 weeks we:

THANK YOU JENNY! YOUR THE BEST!

Then there was Jeremy!

He is the greatest man!

He emptied out his work trailer, cleaned it and hauled

all my tables etc. to the Dixie Center (in the rain).

Helped set up, and take down, and hauled it back home.

Thank you Jeremy!

My Husband Kendall!

Built 8 sturdy tables all different sizes.

Round on the top with a Square base so they are flippable!

Built me the coolest Air Brush booth with shelves,

a tent over it and everything!

Although he left town on a golfing trip the day before the show.....
