In Bloom This May!

MAY 2017

It’s that time of year again when the sun is out and the fabulous weather has us Del Mar and Carmel Valley folks out and about, preparing to celebrate the amazing women in our lives on Mother's Day. As children, you probably had a moment you wanted to show mom your appreciation - Picking flowers to express your love or finding just the perfect gift. I love some of the traditions now with my children and their special thoughts and gifts for mom. Flowers, food, and quality time...we all probably don't slow down enough to celebrate you and thank you for all you do!

In this issue, we also take a look at some amazing women entrepreneurs in our community in our feature spread, and showcase some of the incredible merchants at Flower Hill in celebration of In Bloom, offering special events, activities and attractions all month long.

wner, artist and creative director behind Petalsweet, based in San Diego, Calif., Jacqueline Butler is a former wedding cake artist turned sugarcraft and cake decorating instructor.

During her first career teaching and training in the non-

profit sector, she discovered and fell in love with sugar flowers as a hobby.

She traveled extensively to study with some of the best sugar flower makers in the business and began her own journey in cake soon after.

Officially founded over 12 years ago, Petalsweet became one of Southern California’s favorite studios specializing in wedding cakes decorated with beautiful, modern and stylized sugar flowers. Known for clean, delicate designs and fresh color palettes, Petalsweet wedding cakes are enjoyed by fabulous brides in both San Diego and the Bay Area.

Five years into the business, other cake artists contacted Butler to learn her methods for making and finishing sugar flowers. After offering private lessons and group classes in Southern California and San Francisco, she discovered her love for teaching sugarcraft and began to focus more on providing learning opportunities for cake decorators and enthusiasts, from beginner to advanced levels. Over time, she developed easy to follow steps and processes, which have helped her students replicate beautiful sugar flowers with great success.

Today, Butler spends most of her time traveling and teaching her signature style of cake decorating and sugar flowers in schools and venues across the U.S., as well as overseas, including Australia, Europe and Asia.

She has also partnered with Craftsy to produce two popular online videos featuring her favorite filler flowers, and

THE NO MAKE-UP LOOK

The Southern California beach look is taking the nation by storm: fresh-faced, little make-up, sun-kissed, glowing. Even Alicia Keys is sporting a “less is more” fresh face on this season of The Voice. However, for most of us, it takes a little work to look effortless.

Katelyn points to the growing popularity of services designed to enhance natural beauty, like eyelash extensions, facials and more natural-looking spray tans. Clients are also opting for added hair volume and pops of color, like a lipstick or headband, to really bring the natural look alive.

Today’s woman is increasingly aware of what she is applying to her body and how the beauty products are made, especially when it comes to animal testing. At the same time, allergy awareness and dietary restrictions dictate what products some women can use, like in the case of gluten and dairy. As a result, there is growing demand for safe and effective nontoxic make-up, hair and skin saviors.

Surfing USA to the cultivation of world-class surfers such as Brad Gerlach and Skip Frye, North County has long

had a spot on the surf culture map. So it’s no surprise

that the only consumer-facing surfboard manufacturing trade show in the world—the Boardroom International Surfboard Show—was founded here.

“We’re kicking off the summer of 2017. All the surfboard makers and shapers will have the latest and greatest on display, and available for purchase,” says Scott Bass, founder and executive director of the Boardroom show, which is celebrating its 10th year.

Around 2005, the surfboard industry faced a major setback: its main foam supplier—Clark Foam—closed its doors. Because the company had a monopoly on foam, surfboard retailers, manufacturers, and designers suddenly had limited access to

This year’s honoree is North County native Al Merrick.

the material. The surfing industry eventually recovered with the emergence of US Blanks. After that scare, Bass recognized a need for people in the surf industry to come together. That’s when he established the Boardroom show

(formally Sacred Craft). It kicked off in 2007 at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Around 5,000-6,000 attendees now walk the show’s floor each year. So far, the Boardroom has been held 16 times in various locations, including Santa Cruz, Ventura, and Orlando, FL. This year’s event will be held at the Del Mar Fairgrounds.

The Boardroom is an inclusive event—a place where even the novice is encouraged to come engage with and learn from experts in the surf industry. “The surfboard is the philosophical icon of enduring youth,” says Bass, who grew up in Del Mar and has surfed since 1977. “It just makes you feel like a kid when you have one under your arms—you’re eternally stoked. And

that’s really the power of the show—it makes you happy because it brings you back to the beach and those magical times.”

The Boardroom showcases the essential hard goods of the surf industry: surfboards, fins, wetsuits, art and gear. “The one thing about surfing in surf culture is that there are only two things that matter: waves, and the equipment to ride those waves with,” says Bass. Approximately 110 vendors from around the world, comprising shapers, surfers, manufacturers, and designers participate this year.

Board shaping is a huge part of this event. Manufacturers give live demonstrations for anyone interested in laminating their own surfboards. “That’s the beauty of the show,” says Bass. “We put the shapers right in front of the consumer.”

There’s even a ‘Young Groms of Shaping’ exhibit, where 13-year-old shaper novices will put their boards on display.

presented by US Blanks, where shapers are invited to replicate a classic design of that year’s honored iconic surfboard manufacturer or shaper. This year’s honoree is North County native Al Merrick, a famous surfboard manufacturer and the creator of Channel Islands Surfboards. World-champion surfers have won many competitions with Merrick’s boards under their feet - Kelly Slater earned 11 world titles on a Channel Island board.

Surfer Magazine’s editorial staff will host public panel discussions with experts in the field, covering cutting-edge materials and technology, legacies in the surf world, and even surfing officially becoming an Olympic sport in 2020. On Sunday morning, there will be a surfboard demo, where attendees can ride surfboards that the exhibitors have on display.
