Kimberley Bridal Fair: Kimberley Conference & Athlete Training Centre

April 8, 2013 by Jenn

Towards the end of last year (2012) we had the privilege of sponsoring the Kimberley Bridal Fair, which was held on the ski hill at the Kimberley Conference and Athlete Training Centre. Working with Meta (Events Coordinator) is always a joy as she is such a great person! She is incredibly busy, but always has time to chat and to check on how her patrons are doing. We also sponsored the St Eugene Bridal Fair this year, and I will be doing a post on that event soon as well.

Here’s me at our table 🙂

April 5, 2013 by Jenn

How to Make Rice Krispies Treats

March 20, 2013 by Jenn

How do decorator’s make all of those crazy, gravity defying cake pieces that bring about ‘ooh’s and awh’s”? They use Rice Krispies treats! Or cereal treats as Cake Boss likes to say.

Using Rice Krispies treats as decorated cake accents is sometimes easier than using actual cake. The pieces are lighter, but sturdier, so they can be molded, shaped and positioned at difficult angles. Pieces of the Rice Krispies treats are solid (due to the marshmallow component) and can act as solid bases that supports can be inserted into.

Some people use pre-made cereal bars, but making your own from scratch is super simple and worth the extra work . . . especially if you’re just going to enjoy them as a low fat snack.
