The Cake Fair was BOOM!!

Boom, massive and nothing short of heaven!

A few buzzing attributes which characterized Ghana's first cake experience - during and after the event.

'The Cake Fair' event -- which happened on Saturday July 30, this year at the Fiesta Royale Hotel was record breaking, exceptionally impressive and delightfully buoyant.

It brought some major parts of Ghana's capital city, Accra, to a halt due to the 'bamba-to-bamba' traffic caused by the influx of people who were not going to miss the opportunity to satisfy their taste buds.

Twenty five vendors including cake bakers, cake accessories and equipment suppliers, juice makers -- over 1,500 cake fair attendees participated.

If you anticipated less -- your craze and crave for everything cake is probably not eminent.

It shattered any glass ceiling in Ghana's sugar craft and cake industry -- especially for the vendors who were mostly women and also for the organizers.

The Cake Fair -- which started as scheduled had TV and radio presenter at GHOne TV, AJ Sarpong, as host  -- who's striking beauty and infectious dimpled smiles was a "a•muse-bouche". It lasted through out the event --brightening enough to make the short power cut at the tail of the event go almost unnoticed.

An opening prayer kick start the event followed by speeches delivered by the CEOs of Yellow October Events Gloria Kekeli Hogba and VoiceAds, Kati G -- the principal organizers of the cake fair.

TV and radio presenter and the Guest of Honor to the cake fair, Anita Erskine-Amaizo gracefully welcome vendors and attendees -- her charming presence graced the event -- leaving participants in awe for the big moments with her splendid speech delivery.

A cake-cutting ceremony officially opened the cake fair -- paving way for the 'cake-together to begin - vendors could now showcase their beautiful cake designs and supplies - attendees could begin to sample cakes and drinks for free, buy, network and meet some of their favorite TV and radio personalities.

The huge grandeur of this cake experience wowed even the-not-so 'trigger-cake-happy' person. And had cake lovers eat all their hearts out -- but that is just a tip of the cake fair.

From the perfect location, flawless decor, A-class reception, music, live deejay disk jockeying, live music performances, different cake designs and cake types display -- to free cake sample tasting and free give aways including dinner for two plus a weekend stay and dinner for two at the Fiesta Royale --you could "eat your cake" and still have it. Literally!

But what makes Ghana's first cake fair experience HISTORIC, aside the numbers it pulled, is the endorsements it received from A-list radio and TV broadcasters and presenters including ace broadcaster, CEO of the EIB Network and Empire Entertainment, Nathan Kwbena Adisi aka Bola Ray and Ghana's TV "goddess" Nana Aba Anamoah [and others] prior to the event -- it would be remarkably unforgettable!

For most families the cake fair provided a refreshing space -- away from the usual visits to malls and movie centers -- a participant described it as "strikingly bonding".

Award-winning singer, Adoma also performed with live-band music group, 'Calabash' -- with support from Kati G music. DJ Isaac of Live FM also helped to further intoxicate participants with not just cakes but also refined tunes.

Don't be don't you missed it, if you did -- it was hugely successful!

And oh, the CEO Bola Ray, proved his relish for cakes -- his presence gave the event another grand celebrity touch.

Ghana's first cake fair experience promises to be an annual event with far more extravagant and lavish different cake designs and styles display -- don't be left out!
