A Little Nip & Tuck Never Hurt Anyone

We were approached to do an interesting thing we had never done before. I have made cakes into unthinkable shapes and mad excessive and creative cupcake flavors and even donated items to silent donations but never thought I would get an offer like this one.
We were asked to be the attention grabbing scene in a booth at a major convention for a company called Allergan. This was exciting because Allergan is one of the largest Pharmeceutical companies around and one of their divisions is plastic surgery products. We found out that they wanted to have a little cupcake stand at their booth at the Plastic Surgeons Convention here at National Harbor at the Gaylord Hotel.
Not only did they want us to provide almost 1,000 mini cupcakes but they hired us (Marcia & myself) to be there in person both days and ice the cupcakes for the people that stopped by the booth.We agreed to do it and it was such an interesting experience. We were the hit of the convention. And it was also funny that we were standing next to the displays of breast implants on one side and a commercial for Latisse on the other - Brooke Shields is the spokesperson.
We were exhausted on Sunday night after working two full days and bringing all the equipment and having to take it all home but it was a neat thing to do and something totally different for our business as a creative revenue source.It didn't hurt that I met some great plastic surgeons - I have always told myself that in a few years I would like a couple of procedures and now I have cards for some great doctors.
