The Public Viewing was a great hit at the 2nd Annual "Event Elements - Confectionary Creations & Table Top Decor Competition" featuring the styles - Retro, Contemporary, Traditional or Vintage.Brides and vendors alike came to view the amazing designs by some of the Valley's best designers. Tabletop designers, Event Coordinators, Rental design companies and pastry chefs competed for Best of Class awards as well 1st, 2nd & 3rd place awards for Element Interpretation.
The best part was all of the wonderful cakes everyone got to try! we asked the public to vote on a Peoples Choice award, and the awards went to; Sedona Cake Couture and Kate Ryan Designs.
This year's guest speaker during dinner and one of our tabletop judges was nationally acclaimed event producer, Scott Corridan. As Scott said during his presentation, 'The worst part about a competition is that someone needs to win, but (the competitors) are all winners, just for showing up" and he was right. Every designer in both categories not only showed up, but the winners were hard to decide because everyone had such fantastic ideas.
Special thanks to the JW Marriott for an incredible meal and service that was far above expectations!
For our Annual Fundraiser We had 19 tabletop design competitors and 15 cake and confectionary design competitors in 4 different ‘Elements’ This years Element was ‘Design’ and we used Vintage, Contemporary, Traditional and Retro as our 4 elements. After the judging we invited the public to come in and view the designs and taste the cakes as well as give their opinion in a ‘People’s Choice’ Award.
1st, second and 3rd prizes were awarded in each category by our celebrity judges and Best of Show was awarded to the best of the 4 1st place winners in both Tabletop and Cake design.
Once the 3 hour viewing was over,NACE members and guests who were staying for the program portion of our event were brought into the ballroom for cocktails and their viewing of the tables and cakes as well as time to bid on our silent auction.
