VENDOR SPOTLIGHT #11

Well, here we are at the last vendor spotlight for my Come celebrate 15 years of business & launching of the new horse trailer storefront on SUNDAY! on 4/21.

Jen Drury, Owner of No More Boring Cakes is the mastermind behind this event.

I am celebrating 15 years in business (legally with all business licenses, health permits, etc) - but, I have been in the cake industry for a whopping 24 years!

NMBC spent the last 6 months (100+/- hours) converting a 50 year old horse trailer into a bakery storefront with my incredible son.

Now I am inviting everyone to come check it out and celebrate, along with several other sweet vendors! https://www.nomoreboringcakes.com/horse-trailer

I am in the process of writing a short book about the horse trailer conversion! Be on the lookout for a sneak peek on Sunday.

NMBC specializes in custom cakes and has about 1500+/- under my belt over the last couple decades, including many for actors, athletes and large well known companies.

In the last couple years I have introduced some new items to my lineup at a different price point, including dessert boxes and celebration boards. https://www.nomoreboringcakes.com/celebrationboard

NMBC product line of shelf stable items came out about 1 year ago. All items are in alignment with my fun funky theme, such as: cake batter pancake mix, sparkly (edible glitter) maple syrup, infused sugars and creamed honey. https://www.nomoreboringcakes.com/pancakesandsyrup

As a side hustle I also print and ship edible images - known as Eat Your Images https://www.nomoreboringcakes.com/eatyourimages

Multiple storefronts, a National TV show, several media involvements, and after teaching dozens of classes - NMBC is once again pivoting to work from home and sell out of this converted horse trailer! https://www.nomoreboringcakes.com/media

You can read MUCH more about my business story here: https://www.nomoreboringcakes.com/mystory

On Sunday you will find all sorts of fun homemade items from NMBC such as:
- Cake batter pancake mix
- Sparkly maple syrup
- Infused sugars
- Creamed honey
-----------------------
- Mini cakes
- Trailer toffee crack
- Cake batter popcorn
- Cake batter white fudge
- Lemon cream
- Soft mints
----------------------
-Mother's Day dessert boxes on pre-sale

'chicken & eggs', 'bees & honey', 'pancakes & syrup', 'gift certificate for a dessert box', and lastly the grand prize a 'stand mixer'.

COME SEE ME and PLEASE take a moment to introduce yourself if I don't recognize you! I hate when someone recognizes me and says hello and I don't know who they are! More of you know who I am, than I know you!

Sunday 4/21 - open house 11am-3pm

Edna Way - Vista, CA 92081

I would not be here without all the support of my wonderful clients!
With much gratitude,
Jen Drury

It is with deepest regret that we are informing you that the San Marcos Makers Market is not planning to continue at another location at this time.

My small business (No More Boring Cakes) is looking to build community (FOR FREE) by offering a pop-up location for other Cottage Food operators to sell their products from.

Do you have a following of customers, but don't have a location for direct sales? Do you know a small local business that operates under the Cottage Food Law that has SPECTACULAR products? Who are they? What do they make?

I am ONLY looking for vendors that do not have access to selling in a storefront location and that are interested in selling their products on a monthly or potentially weekly scheduled/rotating basis in Vista. MUST have all appropriate permits and licenses. MUST be present to directly sell to your own customers/followers on the specific days arranged. Product MUST be alignment with the overall theme/energy/vibe of this new location. ONLY accepting one vendor from each product - no duplicates.

I have already secured the following vendors: cake/cupcakes/sourdough bread/marshmallows/peanut brittle/pancake mix/honey/eggs/syrup/infused sugars/cookies/muffins/brownies.

Questions? Ideas? Concerns? Reach out if you or you know someone that could benefit from this offer: [email protected] or text 760-484-1818. I am currently setting up introductory interviews/meetings for the next couple weeks.

Would like to continue to secure vendors ASAP, so that I can introduce you to my 6.5k+/- followers on 4/21.

Thanks for your help and referrals!

A quick shoutout to Eli - who attended all of the markets. He arrived at 7:30am to help vendors unload their cars, pop up their canopies and lift heavy items. And most of the time he was there to help everyone breakdown at the end of the day as well. Many of the vendors have expressed gratitude toward him in the surveys. So THANK YOU ! We hope to find a new venue that you can be just as helpful at!

2/25 UPDATE:

Due to demolition/reconstruction of Restaurant Row, 2/25 was the LAST market at this location.

We are taking a break for the next couple weeks. Please allow us some extra grace in replying to any emails/applications.

Thank you to all Vendors who have participated in our little market over the last year! We will be doing our best to locate a new venue within close proximity.

Please stay up to date on Facebook and Instagram - as we will announce when we find a new location.

Thank you.
