Nicole's Classes Book Signing Party Recap

What an amazing time we had at our book signing party last Friday. Alice Lane was the perfect place for us to hold the party and we were astounded at the number of you who showed up! (We're estimating around 250?) Seriously, we could not have asked for better. I felt badly for anyone who came in the last hour and a half because we were cleaned out of our treats. (I thought 2 rainbow cakes, 48 sugar cookies, 48 choc chip cookies, 48 brownie bites, 24 red velvet cupcakes and 100 jumbo suckers would have been enough! :) Selling nearly 200 books and signing 'til our hands hurt, we are honored to have met you all. Thank you so much for letting us teach you our crafts.

And thanks again to Alice Lane and their wonderful designers for helping us with the event. Photos below taken by Holly Okubo for Alice Lane.

    I desperately wanted to come, but my baby boy (born nov. 16th!) Was sick and I couldn't take him on the plane. Any chance of getting your books at a discounted rate somewhere?? Congrats on such a great turnout!

    So glad to hear that you had a great turn out!! but also so sad......I put the event on my calendar, but on Saturday instead of Friday. I was on my way out the door to drive to Orem and decided to check the location and saw the date! I was really disappointed! Hopefully I can catch your next book signing! take care and enjoy your little angel.........they grow up too fast!

    It turned out so cute Nicole! I'm just glad the amazing rainbow cakes didn't melt in my car. I'm going to have to bake one now that I've seen how cute they really are.
