Thanks again to all the wonderful the sponsors for Utah’s Cupcake Conference Summer Social! And for all you attendees, we’d love to read about your experience. So post away on your own blogs and leave a link back on this post!
I should probably start off this post with the extreme amount of envy I feel over the winners of the cupcake bedazzled Snuggies at the Cupcake Conference Summer Social. I also want to put Paige from Where Women Create in my pocket for her creative genius. And yes, anything involving cupcakes, sparkles, and Snuggies is GENIUS!
It doesn’t surprise me that Where Women Create would sponsor such wonderful giveaways at Cupcake Conference. Have you actually checked out their website and magazine? I am the least creative person I know and even I feel inspired when I look through the gorgeous pages of the magazine. Not only that, the magazine itself is art. You can proudly display a copy on your coffee table and have your friends and neighbors ohh and ahh over how lovely the magazine is from cover to cover.
I think the most inspiring part of Where Woman Create is their passion towards highlighting woman in every aspect of their creativity. Whether they are business women or dancers Where Woman Create sees the amazing complexity of woman and shares that with their readers.
What sparks your creativity? I mean besides Cupcake bedazzled Snuggies.
I know you are all waiting for the announcement of the next Cupcake Conference. You want to visit with all your friends old and new. Nosh on some cuppycakes. And most of all have FUN. Well we are still working out the details of our next conference but while you are waiting, have you checked out Bloggy Boot Camp?
Bloggy Boot Camp is a fun, informative, and most importantly STRESS free conference (well maybe the organizers may feel differently but as an attendee it was no stress at all) held over 1 day. Yup, that’s right, only 1 day. And in addition to making it easier to find a babysitter, it also keeps the cost low (only $99). And the next best part… they are coming to UTAH! St. George to be exact. On November 13th. Which couldn’t be a more perfect time of year. Escape the cold and snow and head on down to St. George Bloggy Boot Camp for a little fun in the sun.
I am planning on making a whole weekend out of it with my family. The hubby and kids can relax by the pool and soak up the rays while I am soaking up the knowledge at Bloggy Boot Camp. Or if you need a quick weekend away. Grab a few of your bloggy BFF’s and carpool down. Just over 4 hours later you will be having the best girl getaway of the fall.
Now that you are all settled down from the amazing excitement that was Cupcake Conference it’s time to turn some of those fun pictures into long lasting memories. Thankfully we thought of that prior to the conference. Did you notice that amazing software package in your swag bags? Memory Mixer you ask? Yup thats the one.
Now it’s time to open up that box and put it to good use. Now if you are like me scrapbooking software can be a little daunting. But Memory Mixer is not scary at all. Even someone like me, the craft impared, can create adorable pages with just a few clicks of a button. I started out using their premade “quick mixes” (that is are still customizable) and have now branched out to making my own pages.
I made this in under 10 minutes. This is coming from the girl who has actually hot glued her hair before. I am NOT creative or crafty. Imagine what YOU could do with Memory Mixer and your creative flair. I can’t wait to see your creations.
Disclosure-Memory Mixer was a sponsor of Cupcake Conference. However, all thoughts, opinions, and general awesomesauceness of the above page are all mine.
Now that the amazing Cupcake Conference Summer Social at the Grand America is over it is time to share all of our amazing memories. I am so excited to see the wonderful time everyone had in their photographs and blog posts.

As you can see there has been a bit of a change. We are no longer having the tour during hour prior to the conference. Please adjust your schedules accordingly.
I would like to thank Quinn Curtis of The Artistic Mom and Limelight Food Photography for designing a beautiful new header and logo for Cupcake Cupcake Conference. Quinn is obviously beyond talented and I am proud to call her one of my very good friends.
Take a chance to to grab our new button and check out Quinn.
With our summer social approaching I can’t but help have cupcakes on the brain 24/7. And because of that I am remembering one of the VERY first YouTube videos I ever watched. And I may or may not try to sing this song exactly like the little girl.
Also, be sure to check out our amazing sponsors off to the right. The list will be growing as the event gets closer.
In less than 45 minutes Cupcake Conference Summer Social has sold out. We have opened up a waitlist HERE and will contact you if anyone is unable to use their ticket.
