Back from the 2010 IDDBA in Houston, and boy did we get a lot of ideas! This show was immense! Wall to wall booths overflowing with deli meats, bulk candy, and specialty cakes. Lisa and I were blown away by the sheer size of this show and by the old time beauty of the city. Not only did we gain numerous new connections and possible ideas, but we were also lucky enough to hear an incredibly inspirational speech from former President George. W. Bush, the focal point of which defended small business owners. Lisa met Cap't. Sig Hanson from Discovery Channels: The Deadliest Catch, and she nearly had a cow. It was so nice to meet all of the wonderful and engaging people at this show-- they were the ones who truly made it worthwhile.

Pictures are on the way!

Lisa and I are heading to the IDDBA Expo in Houston on Friday. Planning on scouting out some new ideas to match our new location. It's one of the largest baking shows throughout the year, and, though it may not be exciting to the everyday citizen, for us baking fools, this is better than Christmas. Looking forward to sampling all of the great products.

--Happy Baking,

Chris Ketcham.

Update on New Location

So, we've finally settled into the new location, and things are going swimmingly thanks to all of our loyal customers! The gelato machine is, in fact, up and running at the moment and we have some delicious sampler flavors out front like Peanut, Chocolate, Pistachio, Mango and Pink Grapefruit! Stop by today for a scoop, or feel free to tell us the flavors you'd like to see us carry. With our first summer (at the new locale) coming closer each day, you can expect more pictures from our gorgeous Summer Weddings.

Wishing you Tasty Days and an even Sweeter Summer!,
