What is L.A. Cookie Con and Sweets Show? It’s the largest baking and sweets expo on the West Coast and it’s in Los Angeles next weekend – February 6/7, 2016 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. After last year’s sold out show, this second year will prove to be even bigger as the space has grown three-fold. More space means more exhibits, which means more delicious sweets to sample and enjoy. With over 125 local and national exhibitors, make sure to bring your sweet tooth with you.

With so much to experience at Cookie Con, we’ve chosen our top 3 things were excited about:

1. Speaking with Ron Ben-Israel about his Food Network show “Sweet Genius.”

2. Tasting all the delectable sweets.

3. The super-secret, amazing cake that will be delivered on Saturday by Food Network’s Duff Goldman. We hope that we are lucky enough to take part in enjoying it.
