A Cookie Convention
This post may contain affiliate links.
Have you ever heard of a cookie convention? Me either, until I had the privilege to attend one in Pasadena recently. You see, I have been baking cookies and cupcakes since I was a kid and when I heard that the LA Cookie and Sweets Convention was coming to Pasadena, I am pretty sure I squealed!
The other great thing about this event is that the proceeds from the baking competition went to benefit Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles.
SO many varieties and so many samples…
There were also cookie and sweets competitions,
And so many beautiful cookies.
There were cakes and cake pops too. Check out this Display from Daphne Ho Cake Design.
Some of them had cute cookie names.
And some where downright elegant.

There were some sweets that were Brazilian and gluten-free.
TrueColor offered the largest selection of food coloring that I had ever seen. Doesn’t this make you want to frost a bunch of rainbow cookies?
These two are so cute. Joe says that ” He is here to show you that anyone can bake cookies”. Their cookies do not have any artificial colors or flavors and use real eggs and butter. I have baked some of these already and they are tasty and so convenient (you can even just bake one or two at a time). They are currently available to purchase through JenandJoes.com online store and can be shipped to the lower 48 states.
In addition to all of the exhibitor booths there was a demo on Wedding cakes from celebrity chef, Ron Ben-Israel, Vegan and Paleo demonstrations from several vendors and meet and greets with some contestants from Master Chef and Master Chef Junior.I t was an awesome event and I want to go again next year. The event was sold out days before and I have a feeling that the event will be bigger next year.
Great recap! Love Jen & Joe’s Cookie Dough! 🙂
Thanks Jennifer! Yes, their dough is great isn’t it?
What an awesome convention! The tattoo cake is pretty cool 🙂
It was Ashley! I wish I could have sampled everything but there was just too many!
Great recap and photos! I didn’t get my tickets soon enough and they sold out quickly. I also love Jen & Joe’s! They’re perfect for when you just want a couple of cookies, not a dozen. 🙂
Yes, they sold out right away, but hopefully there will be more tickets and a larger space next year. It really was fun!
How cool is that! I never heard of a cookie convention. I love the cause too, very sweet:) I think I would have to try every single cookie.
I tried to and many were sooo good but I did get full before I could try them all. 🙁
What a great convention! Oh, I would be few pounds heavier after going to such a convention. All the cookies looks so droolworthy…
Also, wanted to say thank you for joining the March hobnob..

It really was tasty! I’d be in trouble it it were held more often LOL!
I’ve definitely seen it all because this looks like my idea of true heaven.
Next year, I’m coming!
Now THAT would be fun Tamara! 🙂
I can imagine the heavenly cookie smells right now! What a great convention to go to! Wish I could’ve gone. Thanks for sharing your experience with us! 🙂
Thanks for coming along Ginny! I can’t think of a better reason for a convention LOL!
A cookie convention yet! I’d have loved to be there , whether I got to sample the cookies or not. Love the pictures you shared here. Now I have to see if I can figure out a way to get one here in Syracuse. 🙂
I think this could start a trend for sure Mitch! Who wouldn’t want a cookie convention right? 🙂
