Panini,

I called the 3 restaurants, Flavors closes at 10, the others at 11:00.
I guess being an older guy I never even thought about people staying out that late!
The good thing is that Polo Grill and Stonehorse Cafe are in the same big shopping center, Utica Square, and just a few minutes walk between the two if we wanted to change places for dessert. Another good thing is that they're only about 3 miles down the road (21st Street) from the FairGrounds. Flavors is South across town.

Looking forward to meeting you guys and seeing the sugar show displays.

Henry,
Thanks again for going out of your way. Lets just make reservations at any of those places. There will be two for me, two for Momo, and anyone else. Actually maybe an extra res., I can't believe I won't see someone that I know there.I don't mind doing this, if you're busy.

We had a fun time with you guys. Thank you both so much for coming out to play! The show went well, considering I only had 5 days to prepare! I only wish I had had more time to prepare for this show!!

I went home with a bronze, which is much more than I ever expected. I learned a lot about competing, and hope to try it again soon.

Maybe we'll do it again next year!!

Congratulations, Momo!! Please post a picture if you have one. I'd love to see it, and I'm sure others would, too.

Momo is downplaying. It was a special piece. It is very hard to enter anything black into competition. We arrived to her cake just as there was a pow-wow with the judges and Food Network was focusing on her cake. So look for it on the tube!
BTW the cake was not black

[momoreg]

I have some pictures, but the photographer took a studio shot which (I hope) is better than my own. My picture contains a busy background of other cakes, which is distracting. In any case, I'll try to post a picture later in the day. It really was an educational experience, having never competed before, and learning about what the judges look for, and what other seasoned competitors show.

I can't stop now, so I'll have to try again soon. Very rewarding!

Mich Congrats on the Bronze! That is excellent, pretty soon we'll see you on the food channel. Why don't you make a video submission for the new show? I'd vote for ya

Momoreg,

Congratulations on the bronze! I sent you a picture with the judges around your cake to your cakesuites.com email. I was surprised to learn that all those fabulous cakes were really cardboard or styrofoam underneath. Shows you I know nothing about competition.

Panini,

It was a great pleasure meeting you and your assistant at the show. She really was informative about the occasion cakes and decorations. Our dinner Sat night was wonderful, and I hope you had a good time Sunday seeing the rest of the exhibits.
