ISES of Greater Triangle hosted Geof Manthorne, one of the stars from Ace of Cakes at Bay 7 in Durham on Jan 18, 2011. As one of the stars of the Food Network’s hit reality show, Geof Manthorne is known for his incredible cake creations and dry, sardonic sense of humor. So when I got the opportunity to photograph this event, I was ready to photograph and eat some cakes! Mica was sick and couldn’t join me. So, I had very strict instruction to bring home some cake!
The evening started with registration and networking. There were brief introductions and then Geof entertained event guests with his speech and humor. There were four cake stations where cake artists demonstrated the craft of cake decorations:
Miel Bon Bons (Carrboro, NC)
Edible Art (Raleigh, NC)
Simply Cakes (Cary, NC)
Ambrosia Cake Creations (Fuquay-Varina, NC)
All the cakes were simply amazing!
Food and beverages were catered by The Catering Company of Chapel Hill
One of the bonus of attending ISES events is meeting my friends! My next ISES event will be for the Triangle Wine Experience- I will be doing a live event painting…
