Hop On Over To Facebook!

Easter is only one week away, and I've been scouring the Internet for fun Easter cake and cupcake ideas. Along the way I found some pretty "interesting" photos of people with the Easter Bunny, which ultimately led me to this video, and the Bunny Contest was born!

Here are the rules to enter the Bunny Contest:

1. Find your best picture of you or a loved one with the Easter Bunny.

2. Share it to Cake and Ice's Facebook page by 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, April 2nd. 

3. Wait patiently for us to announce the winner on Friday, April 3rd at 9:00 a.m.

The Prize:

A $25 Cake and Ice gift certificate!

Seriously though guys check out this super creepy Easter Bunny video, and then share your best Easter Bunny pictures with us! We can't wait to see them!

Smash Cakes and Podcasts and Sales, Oh My!

Exciting news! Cake and Ice just finished recording our first podcast. I interviewed my husband Al, who helps out a ton at the shop. We also talk about smash cakes. For those of you that don't know what a smash cake is, check out the podcast to learn all about it!

Even more exciting news! Now through the end of March, Cake and Ice is running a sale on smash cakes! If you order your babies birthday cake from us, we will make a complimentary smash cake for free! You only have a week to book these cakes, but we book cakes 12 months out. So stop in today to take advantage of this great deal!

A Wilton World

Cake and Ice is definitely living in a Wilton World. You might know that I started out only three short years ago as a novice at home cake decorator. I used websites like Wilton to answer all of my questions and to figure out many new techniques. Our shop is filled with tons of Wilton products, because that is what I learned to decorate with, and they are the standard in this industry. This week I thought Cake and Ice should be giving back to the community that really helped get us started. Now we are proud to say that we are connected on wilton.com to the rest of the decorating world!

Wilton's website is not only a great place to find ideas for cakes, but also to ask questions, get  answers, and review new products. Whether you are a do-it-yourselfer, novice cake decorator like I once was, a person in the market for a cake decorator, or an experienced professional Wilton's site is a great way to share ideas and learn new techniques.

I invite you all to check out the Wilton site, create an account, and connect with all of the decorators. Click here to play a quick video of how to navigate Wilton's website. Whether you are our customer or not, we want to be able to help you get your dream cake. So sign up and we will start answering your questions!
