On Thursday May 19th, there was a little food show in Essex, Ont. called Treats of the tracks. Held at the train station. The restaurants in Essex all came together and had booths where they displayed delicious morsels that their restaurants offered. My in-laws own a diner in town, called Main Street Diner. They had a booth at the show and offered me another opportunity to make a cake and advertise to those in town. Since it was at the train station and called treats of the tracks, I decided to make a two tiered cake that looked like a mountain with a tunnels and train tracks around it, as well as a little train on top. I was going back and forth of how to display it so that everyone would see it. Since it was from 6:30-9 I was afraid that the only people would see it would be the first few guests and by the end it would be all cut up. So I decided to make a dummy cake, it was all Styrofoam. I made two other cakes to serve, so they could also taste my creations. I made a red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting, (which is quickly becoming my favorite cake, and was a hit with those in attendance) and a new flavor which was Pink Lemonade. That was a delicious cake that I will definitely have to try again. It was a fun show, met lots of really cool people and it was also successful cause I walked away with two orders!!
So stay tuned in the next couple of weeks, lot's to check out! :)

Luisa, that is absolutely FABULOUS!!! What a creative "mountain" you have there. The train is precious! Josh would've loved that when he was little... he was a train freak!! I wish you well in your endeavours, and I am definitely "touting" your talents to anyone I can! Keep up the fantastic work!! (:D)Karen Fryer
Gorgeous cake plates! I wish I wouldn't have already made my centerpieces or I would snatch these right up!
