That’s a Wrap on IDDBA 2025 — Thanks for Celebrating With Us!

IDDBA 2025 is officially in the books, and we’re still smiling (and maybe still recovering a little) from an unforgettable week in New Orleans!

It meant the world to us to welcome industry friends, colleagues, and new faces to our hometown. Sharing our bakery, our city, and our cakes with y’all was the highlight of the year, and we don’t say that lightly.

Our Mardi Gras house float-inspired booth turned heads and sparked conversations, thanks to the incredible artistry of Stronghold Studios. It was colorful, whimsical, and just the right mix of bakery magic and New Orleans flair. And of course, there was cake. Lots of it. 

But the booth was just the beginning. We also had the absolute pleasure of hosting a party at the iconic Muriel’s in Jackson Square. Picture this: good food, strong drinks, great music, a champagne skirt & giant cake headpieces, and even a magician (yes, a real one - did y'all see that eight ball trick?!) It was the perfect way to blow off some steam after a jam-packed show floor.

We’re walking away from this year’s show full of gratitude - for the time spent with longtime partners, for the new connections made, and for the chance to continue growing together in this weird and wonderful industry we love so much.

To everyone who stopped by, gave us a hug, shook our hands or even just waved from across the convention center - thank you. Y'all make our job so incredibly fun and fulfilling.

Until next time,
Greg, David, Surrae, & the entire Baker Maid team.
