Share this post everyone! So we can have the best year yet with this event! I'm excited this will be my 3rd year as a vendor! Can't wait to bring my desserts to everyone! ❤️❤️❤️

🎈 MORE THAN JUST A BALLOON GLOW 🎈

When you see the balloons light up the sky on October 24th, you’ll see the fun, the food, the vendors, the activities, and a community coming together.

What you don’t always see is everything that happens before that moment.

There are countless phone calls, emails, meetings, permits, planning sessions, vendor coordination, sponsorships, logistics, weather plans, setup, cleanup, and a whole lot of late nights that go into making an event like this happen.

Catherine, Melissa, and I have put an incredible amount of time and energy into bringing this event to Salem because we truly believe our community deserves events that bring people together.

And that’s really what this is about.

It’s about giving families something fun to look forward to.
It’s about giving local businesses and vendors an opportunity to be seen.
It’s about bringing people into our community and giving them a reason to spend the day here.
It’s about creating memories for kids.
And it’s about showing what Salem and Dent County can do when we come together.

🎈 Our very first year brought around 4,000 people to the Balloon Glow.

Now we’re setting our sights even higher.

Our goal this year is simple: BEAT IT. 🔥🎈

We want to see even more families, more visitors, more businesses, more vendors, and more people experiencing what our community has to offer.

And we need your help to make that happen.

SHARE THIS POST.
Invite your friends.
Tag your family.
Tell your coworkers.
Share it to your community groups.

Let’s see just how big we can make this thing.

Because when those balloons light up the sky, it’s not just an event.

It’s Salem showing up.

🎈 October 24th | Chafin Ave. / Albrown Softball Complex
🎪 Gates open at 11 AM
🍔 Food trucks & vendors
🐐 Petting zoo & pony rides
🎈Balloon Rides
🎈 Balloon activities & glow
🎨 Crafts & activities
✨ And so much more!

4,000 was year one. Let’s see what Salem can do this year. 🎈🔥

SUGARPEA SWEETS IS READY TO CREATE!

After a little unexpected pause, a whole lot of rearranging, and getting my new little cake studio ready, I’m SO excited to finally say…

I’M READY TO START ACCEPTING CUSTOM CAKE ORDERS AGAIN!

My cake decorating table is ready.
My supplies are finding their new homes.

So as I settle into my new studio and figure out my new workflow, I’m going to be keeping custom orders a little more manageable. For the time being, I’ll be limiting tiered cakes to a maximum of two tiers.

My new studio is cozy… VERY cozy 😂… and while I’m excited to see what I can create in my new space, I’m not quite ready to tackle the giant cakes I used to make until I know exactly what works for me in here.

Whether you're celebrating a birthday, wedding, anniversary, baby shower, graduation, or just need an excuse for cake (and honestly, do we really need an excuse? 😋), I’d love to create something special for you!

If you have an upcoming celebration and need a cake, send me a message with your date, cake size/servings, flavor ideas, and what you have in mind for the design. I will send you a quote and we'll go from there.

I can't wait to start creating again for you all! ❤️

Sugarpea Sweets is officially back in the cake business!

Sugarpea Sweets will be at the 3rd annual Salem MO Spectacular Balloon Glow next month! Bringing lots of sweet treats! More details as the event draws near. Feeling excited! ❤️
