]]>The glitz and glamour of Las Vegas is known to captivate visitors with its endless entertainment and bright lights. Yet, amidst the enchanting chaos of the city, there exists a hidden gem that beckons to food enthusiasts like myself—the Fancy Food Show. As I strolled through the bustling aisles, I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe and excitement at the culinary wonders that awaited.
A Feast for the Senses:
The Fancy Food Show in Las Vegas is more than just an event; it's a sensory overload. The moment I stepped onto the convention floor, I was greeted by the intoxicating aroma of diverse cuisines, the sizzle of cooking demonstrations, and the laughter of friends from the food industry. It was a reunion of sorts, a gathering of like-minded souls who share a passion for food.
Innovations Beyond Imagination:
One of the aspects I cherish most about attending the Fancy Food Show is witnessing the relentless innovation of food entrepreneurs. The show is a treasure trove of creativity, with exhibitors showcasing an array of new products and culinary inventions. From artisanal cheeses that melt in your mouth to exotic spices that transport you to distant lands, there's always something new and exciting to discover.
Embracing Change and Growth:
In the fast-evolving world of food, staying ahead of the curve is paramount. The Fancy Food Show provides a platform to connect with industry experts and attend enlightening classes that shed light on the changing landscape. Understanding how the online customer and food bloggers are reshaping the industry is invaluable. It's a glimpse into the future, an opportunity to adapt and thrive in a dynamic field.
Balancing Business with Pleasure:
Of course, it's not all business at the Fancy Food Show. Las Vegas offers a vibrant backdrop for relaxation and entertainment. As they say, "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas," and sometimes, letting loose and enjoying the city's offerings is a well-deserved break from the culinary world's hustle and bustle.
In conclusion, my journey at the Fancy Food Show in Las Vegas was nothing short of extraordinary. It's a place where friendships are rekindled, where innovation knows no bounds, and where the ever-changing food industry reveals its secrets. Until next time, Las Vegas, you remain a culinary haven that promises endless adventures and unforgettable memories.

]]>Every Sunday, my wife and I will have dinner with one of our families; and lately we have been tasked with bringing desserts. This week, I think we made our best yet, and it's all thanks to JulieAnn Caramels!
As we did our grocery shopping for the week, we were brainstorming for dessert ideas with no luck...until I remembered we had some JulieAnn Caramel Sauce and I immediately thought of a Chocolate Caramel Poke Cake! My wife, Emily, searched Pinterest for a poke cake recipe, and we took it from there.
If you've ever had poke cake, you know you need sweetened condensed milk to give it that moist, rich texture. For our cake, we decided to mix JulieAnn Caramel Sauce into the sweetened condensed milk before pouring it into the cake. We were a little worried it might make the cake too rich (especially since we were using a devil's food cake mix), but it was perfect!
Total Time: 2 hours
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 30-35 Minutes (as directed on the package)
Cool Time: 1 hour, 10 mintues

I hope you like this cake as much as we did! Bon appetit!

When the economy came crashing down in 2009, my husband’s business fell into hard times. We had to sell everything and start over. My husband found a job traveling all over the country to trade shows and other events and I found a way to help him draw attention and build client relationships. The answer was in the homemade caramels I had learned to make in my youth from my aunts who raised me. It wasn’t long before Frank, my husband, was known as “The Caramels Guy” and people would ask where they could buy the delicious caramels he was always sharing.
This was the beginning of JulieAnn Caramels, named after my two aunts who taught me how to cook and shared their family caramel recipe with me. These two women have been a huge, positive influence in my life. When I lost my mother at a young age, my aunt and uncle took me in, welcoming me into a family environment that I had never known. They instilled in me many of the values and beliefs that I still live by in my personal and professional life. Since we launched in 2012, we have expanded to several stores in Utah and California, and we will soon be launching in other stores nationwide!
I’m driven by the creative process, product development and an innovative spirit that can and will revolutionize the confectionery industry. Since the start, there have been naysayers who have told me that there “isn’t anything new in candy” and they “have seen it all.” But there’s more to JulieAnn Caramels than just classic, handmade, delicious caramels. The flavors I have already invented range from Eggnog, to Pumpkin, Black Licorice to Cashew and Very Hot Cinnamon. For those adventurous candy lovers – we offer both a Mango Habanero and Pineapple Habanero. As our tag line states, “A taste so good, we had to share.” Welcome to our family!!
