The Canterbury Place Wedding Show

Well it is wedding show season and this weekend I will be at The Canterbury Place, at 197 E. 500 S, Bountiful. It will be from 12:00-4:00, this will be a great show with free admission they will be serving hor d’erves and dessert. There will be a dress fashion show at 2:00 and many great giveaways. Well some where along the way I have lost my camera so all of the great pictures that I have taken of the cakes that I have done recently is gone, so as soon as I can I will have to remedy this. Last week I was in the Greenband show and that was a great show a ton of people attended so I hope it will end up being very successful. Come and see me at the Canterbury Place I would love to see you and Abigail will be there giving out samples.

Recently I did a Birthday cake for a customer that was turning 50. Her husband called my up and ordered the cake. I had previously done a birthday cake for their daughter that was turning 18 and they wanted something special for her. I love doing Birthday cake, There is so much more that you can do with a birthday cake. With both of these birthday cakes you can see the personality of both women, and see the playful side of each. It is usually hard for someone to go to crazy with their wedding cake, so it allows me to be more creative. It doesn't matter if is a birthday cake or wedding cake it better taste good or what is the point.

I have decided to start a blog for my business which is, Ambrosia Exquisite Wedding Cakes.

As my first entry I want to tell you a bit about how it all started. It all began quite a few years ago with my Granny Reta. My grandpa owned and operated a restaurant called the Mansion House in Ogden, Utah, she made the cakes for the weddings there and after a time started the first wedding reception center in Ogden, called The Threshold. In about1969 she went to Chicago and took a cake decorating class from Mr. Wilton. There were about 6 different categories of cakes that everyone in the class made, at the end of the class Mr. Wilton went and picked his favorite from each category and picked my grandmas cake each time. As a child I would go and stay with here for a while in the summer and watch her make cakes. I was always fascinated to watch her work and put them together. I keep this picture of her in my bake shop to keep here close and make her proud of me.

Later her daughter Jaynie Maxfield Rosse bought the business from her. Jaynie called my about 12 years ago and wanted me to come and work for her. I had no idea I would enjoy this business so much. Jaynie taught me so much and together we worked and had a blast together.

It was almost 5 years ago that Jaynie decided that she was going to go and try something new. So, I then purchased the business from Jaynie. I have enjoyed it so much and have found out that there is always something new to learn or to remember. Each year the styles change and there is always a new design or technique to challenge me abilities.
