Trade Shows

IBIE (International Baking Industry Exposition) Carb Eaters Welcome!

Forget that silly Keto diet with all those restrictions…

I felt like Charlie wandering through the chocolate factory with Willy Wonka at last week’s IBIE trade show at the Las Vegas Convention Center.  Imagine all of these people under one huge roof dedicated to baking us breads, pies, cookies, donuts and did I mention CAKES????  My eyes popped out of my head looking at the beautiful displays of rainbow sprinkles, icing, fondant, and very large stainless steel baking equipment.  I really tried to understand the dynamics of the assembly line bread makers, gigantic mixers, and ovens but I was mainly in awe of how the heck they got the stuff into the building!  They even had extra large baking vans and trucks to check out.  I think I was most impressed with the SAMPLES – from a company named Dawn especially – check out my photos of their incredible baked goodies.  Yes, I will be on a KETO diet next week after my body comes down from the sugar high – especially from the GARBAGE COOKIES.  Don’t worry I got the recipe and promised to make them and ship them to my out of state friends and family.  I put captions under the photos to try to explain what you are looking at. What a great exposition for these serious world wide bakers!
