This afternoon, the one and only Bakerella was at our local Williams-Sonoma for a book signing of her cookbook, Cake Pops. As soon as her book signing dates were released & I found out she was going to be in our area, I knew I had to go! I love Bakerella!
So, this afternoon, my friend Becky and I ventured out with the crowds to meet Bakerella and have her sign our cookbooks!

Becky & I waiting in line:
We arrived about 40 minutes early & were given numbers 33 & 34. I was happy we were near the front! While in line, we ran into my friend Heather. (but, we never got a picture!)They also served us delicious Pumpkin Bars while we waited in line...they were SO good!
They let us into the store & Bakerella did a 15 minute Question & Answer time for all of us to ask cake pop and other baking related questions.
I have only attempted Cake Pops once, and they were SO good! They didn't look as pretty as Bakerella's but I am anxious to try them out again with the tip & pointers she gave us during her presentation!
After the Q & A, we were sent back outside to line up in our number order and they let us back into the store 10 at a time to get our books signed by Bakerella.Becky & I anxiously waiting to get our books signed!
We were so excited!
(I had a dream about the book signing last night. Yes, I am a dork!)
Here is Becky, Bakerella & I:
Bakerella & I:
Bakerella was so incredibly sweet & very humble! Love her!
It was such a fun afternoon meeting her and listening more about her delicious cake pops!
I'm going to have to see if she's coming to Texas. I'm a huge fan. That's so cool that you got to meet her.
ReplyDeleteHilarious. My post is almost the exact same. I guess because we basically had the same experience! :) Fun day. Love ya!
ReplyDeletewow! SUPER FUN :)
ReplyDeleteOooh how fun! I want to meet Pioneer Woman. It'd be fun to actually "meet" you one day too. :)
ReplyDeleteI saw her this week on Wednesday in Seattle! I need to go post about it! It was so much fun :)
ReplyDeleteSO envious!! :) You should pass on your tips that she gave. Jimmy got me the book for my birthday, and I haven't tried them yet with the book, but I did last fall and they were a huge flop.
ReplyDeleteI am so super envious! I wanted to go so bad!!!! How fun! Did you also know that Ree Drummond from thepioneer woman and Alice from Savory Sweet life are in San Francisco? A ton of my fav bloggers are all visiting our area!
ReplyDeleteLUCKY!!! I so wanted to go.....but it just wasn't in the cards. Glad you got to meet her...GREAT pics! :)
ReplyDeleteAh, man! Wish I would've known, I would have loved to go with you! My brother-in-law and I made cake pops for Adriana's Pinkalicious party this summer-they were so yummy and the hit of all of the treats we had!
ReplyDeletethat is so exciting!!
ReplyDeleteSo jealous! I wish she had come close to me! Would have loved to meet her.
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh I can't wait to meet her at the end of this month!! i put her on the calender too as soon as I saw she would be in Dallas.
ReplyDeleteI have two questions for you:
1. Would it be better to get a book before I go? Or do they have books there at the signing and is it easy to purchase on?
2. I have been wondering how early i should go? Do you think like 45- min to an hour before would be plenty of time? I would rather get there early and not have to stand in line as long..
Loved reading this post! Makes me really excited!

That is awesome! I made her cake pops for Mason's birthday in January and everyone loooved them. Amazingly delicious. You should really make some more and share those tips she gave you... :)
ReplyDeleteIsn't it funny to think that she started just like you and I as little bloggers? And then she transformed, with one great little concept, into this mega-star who people stand in line to see and is recognizable to so many! Crazy! That's really cool that you got to meet her.
ReplyDeleteI love making cupcake pops... even though mine never turn out as cute as hers either.
ReplyDeleteThis post made me even more excited to see her when she makes a stop in Dallas :)
Looks like you enjoyed it a lot!
i wish i was there!
ReplyDeletethat looks like fun and i need that book!
i hope she comes to kansas. :)
Hi Mel! So great to meet and hang out with you in line at the Bakerella book signing! So much fun! :)
