What a weekend! Since my post last Wednesday, Sweet Element has been *VERY* busy with the production of a little over 6,000 mini cupcake samples for our biggest show yet, The Rainbow Weddings show, within the 18th GLBT Expo at the Javits Center in New York City this past weekend.
I definitely owe a HUMONGOUS thanks to Jay for all his help from Friday-Sunday. I don’t know how I would have gotten through it all without him! Next year I will definitely be hiring another assistant to help with all the production & handling the booth traffic.
Here was our show menu of some of our most popular cake flavors:
Banana Cake with Peanut Butter Frosting
Almond Cake with Almond Moussaline Buttercream
Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
Coconut Cake with Coconut Cream Cheese Frosting
Pistachio Cake with Pistachio Moussaline Buttercream
Vegan Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Ganache Frosting
Amazingly, *ALL* of our cupcake samples were gone at the end of the show!
Here’s a shot of our booth (lucky #13!) in the Rainbow Weddings section of the Expo. Yes, those are ALL mini cupcake boxes (just for Saturday), double stacked on those bottom two shelves. Shockingly, this was the ONLY picture I was able to take during the two day show, right before the show opened on Saturday, because our booth was SO busy both days that we never got a break to even sit down!
Even though it was completely exhausting, and I have *NEVER* done as many lunges and squats to get boxes of cupcakes from the rack to refill the samples on the table, I cannot wait for next year already! It was SO much fun meeting so many wonderful people – potential clients, other GBLT friendly businesss people & fellow exhibitors.
