1 Ohio ICES Cake Talk......From the Buckeye State! A Publication of the International Cake Exploration Societé - Ohio Chapter Summer 2010 Hello everyone!!! Just a quick note. I hope you are all having a lovely, sweet summer filled with sugar inspired events. From the Rep s Desk Ohio ICES Representative Fran Beekman I am sure everyone is excited about the upcoming convention in San Diego. I cannot attend this year and am really disappointed to miss all the fun and knowledge that attendees will have. I hope that those who do attend will return with lots of demo ideas to share with our chapter and tell us about all the new cake "toys" they find. In this issue of the newsletter, you ll have an opportunity to register for our Fall classes. Those who wish to mail in the enclosed form will have a few days head start, to allow for mail time. On-line class registration will begin on Thursday, July 15. On line Day of Sharing Registration will also open at the same time, for those who wish to pay for everything at the same time. If you prefer to wait for the mail-in Day of Sharing form, it will be in the Fall issue of the newsletter. While you re browsing through the newsletter, take a look at the Fall Centerpiece Challenge - Cupcakes!!! Cupcake ideas are still a hot topic and this is a great way to try out some designs without waiting for someone to ORDER it See details inside. Be sure to catch the great message that Chef Jing Palasique sent us after his visit in April. He seems to have enjoyed his time in Ohio with us and we were just as happy to have HIM as an instructor. You ll find his note inside, too. And, remember, as you shop those end-of-season sales, or as you go through your cake toys and discover those new items that you never had a use for, the Chinese Auction Basket Builders would love to give them a good home as raffle prizes. Every little item is appreciated. Have a wonderful rest of the summer and make plans now to join us in the Fall at the September 26 th Day of Sharing. See you then.. Fran Are YOU going to San Diego??? If you are going to convention, please drop a line to Rep Fran Beekman at cakedeco@gmail.com or at (216) and let her know. We can let others know to look for their fellow Ohio members, in the event that you would like to sit together at Breakfast or the Banquet. Should you forget to contact Fran before you leave, remember to check the Ohio page of the Hospitality table sign-in book. This is usually found somewhere in or near the registration area at convention.

Our Spring Chocolate Frosted Challenge Cakes were donated to the Ronald McDonald House of Greater Cleveland, where we made lots of people smile. After all, we were told they never refuse cake. Do YOU have a favorite organization that could use a sweet gift of Cupcakes this Fall? If so, contact Rep Fran Beekman (see the Centerpiece Challenge information above, on the right). What could be better than to spread the joy of cake throughout the Buckeye state? All we ask is that you or your friends take the cupcakes to the destination that you suggest. Ideally, the place you suggest would be somewhere in your neck of the woods. There are several Ronald McDonald Houses around the state as well as other deserving groups that we may not even know. Contact Fran before the end of July with your idea so that we can post the result in the next newsletter. The Fall Centerpiece Challenge. Have Fun!!! Get Creative with Cupcakes!!! For our lunch table centerpieces, we d like to see what you can do with cupcakes. Any flavor, any theme. To participate in this challenge, here s all you need to do: Bake and decorate 1 dozen standard size cupcakes (no minis or Texas muffins, please you CAN use minis on top of a standard cupcake, as a structural element in your design). Bake your cupcakes in paper liners - your choice of color and style. You may use any flavor of cake and any type of icing or filling, however, YOUR CUPCAKES MUST BE NON- PERISHABLE AND MUST HOLD UP WITHOUT REFRIGERATION. Please tell us what the flavors and fillings are and write this information on your packaging. Please keep all decorations as edible as possible. All nonedible decorations should be obvious, such as sucker sticks. These cupcakes will be donated to a worthy location after the Day of Sharing and need to be safe for consumption by strangers. Please transport the cupcakes in a container with a lid. Open boxes or other containers are very difficult to transport in a fully loaded car after the Day of Sharing. Finally, call or OH Rep Fran Beekman (cakedeco@gmail.com or (216) ) to volunteer your cupcakes. We re looking for, at least, 10 Cupcake Artists for this challenge.
