CAKE 2022 Postponed to 2023. As you may already be aware, the ongoing coronavirus pandemic caused the cancellation of our 2020 and 2021 in-person expos and we had tentatively chosen June 2022 as a potential return date. Putting on a show like CAKE requires certain assurances and lead time. Unfortunately this pandemic has, thus far, afforded us neither of these things.
We would like to congratulate our CUPCAKE AWARD winners of 2022, AnneMarie Rogers and Bread Tartelton.

If you were accepted as an exhibitor for 2020's expo, your acceptance and table fee will still carry over to the next show.
We would like to congratulate our CUPCAKE AWARD winner of 2020, Joi Yao.
