Back in late September, I was invited to the opening of  CakeStar.  I was not going to miss this event even though the next day I was moving. Thats right – the next day I was moving. But I was determined not to miss this opening…I like cake and I have priorities. Clearly eating cake was a higher priority than packing another box!!

Here is some background info about CakeStar: It’s owned and operated by two sisters and it’s a great story about two women who are clearly passionate about the food business.

The cakes are gorgeous (see above photo) and that evening I treated myself to cannoli that was superb. I don’t say that lightly – as I take my desserts very seriously and often don’t indulge in just any old dessert – its got to be GREAT. It was recommended and indeed it was a fantastic recommendation.

heaven!!

CakeStar offers classes too. Ranging from beginners to 3D cake decorating and even a class called “rock ‘n roll romance cake”. I don’t know if you noticed, but my blog posts over the last year have never been about cakes. I can make cookies, muffins, crisps, pudding, and tiramisu but avoid making cakes. (fear of cakes perhaps?). But you never know, one day soon I could get over this fear. Hey – I can make that a goal for 2012 – learn how to make cupcakes and cakes.

If you can’t make it to their store, soon you can watch them on CBC’s the Steven and Chris show as the resident cake expert!! Alternatively, you can find out more about their cakes and cake decorating classes by visiting their awesome website. I have to say, their website is great. (kudos to the webmaster too).

I was on twitter (for a change) and noticed a tweet from @VerdigrisVie  if anyone was interested in going to a taping of the Steven and Chris Show.

I answered “yes” immediately. I hadnt been to a taping of a show in years and I thought it would be fun.

You know me…always interested in an adventure!!!

As much fun as it is to hang out with my foodie friends, it was really nice to hang out with design bloggers for a few hours.  I met, Vitania Liscio of Verdisgris Vie,

Dane Caldwell of 2-Hounds Design,  Susan Forint of Saf Affect, Jennifer Borgh of Jennifer Borgh Events and Andrea Mills and Jennifer Murray from Canadian House and Home.

From Left to Right: Susan Forint, Steve, Dane Caldwell, Jennifer Borgh, Vitania Liscio, and Chris

We clapped on cue, we hollered, we received gifts for attending, and we learned a few tips as well: i.e  how to decorate a room on a budget, setting a table for under $200 etc

So set your PVR’s to CBC on Tuesday Jan 4th at 2 p.m. and by all means visit Steven and Chris’s website too!!

I had a blast and can’t wait to see my new design blogger friends at the upcoming Interior Design Show (Jan. 27 – 30th).
