Um... you all know
Bakerella right? If her name and wonderful blog doesn't ring a bell, maybe her irresistible mini treats will?
Cake pops or more specifically the
cupcake pop!
Bakerella went touring around North America to promote her cute book,
Cake Pops. Now, I don't know about you, but I've been checking in book stores ever since the book's release, but never found one. I chalked it up to it being a bestseller. Which it was. On the
New York Times Bestsellers List.
So I was pretty excited to see
this post about her visit to Toronto. Yay! I would finally get a copy of the book, get to meet her, and have my book signed!
I should have been there earlier. My mind slipped on Saturday morning as I thought the event was at 1pm. Luckily I knew that something wasn't right and I managed to get to Williams-Sonoma at 12:05. I love that they drew a cake pop on the sign.
But that doesn't mean I was even close.
Sigh, my original plan was to arrive at 11:30am. But I was on tip-toes and was able to hear the Q&As. Howard, being much taller, was very kind to take photos for me.
Whoohoo! The photo's a little fuzzy (
Howard!) but I think you can still see the Canadian-themed cake pops Carolynn Sheu (thanks for letting us know) from Ottawa made - moose and beaver! I kind of blanked out when I sat down and didn't say anything. But Angie was very sweet, commented on our bangs, and asked if I liked to bake and I blurted out that I've never tried making cake pops before. *smacks head*
But I will. Now that I have the book and a holiday coming up. I will make cake pops!
Also, you might see the colour of the pumps she was wearing...
Her sharpie marker is the same colour as her shoes. Don't you love it when your accessories match like that?
As a nice surprise, we were given buttons after the signing! I love them - cupcakes, robots, and little snow people. Thank you for visiting Toronto! =)
