What’s sweeter than being the Magnet of the Week?  Well, quite possible our Magnet of the week – Capital Confectioners’.   In Austin Texas, Capital Confectioners’ they hold an annual Sugar Art Show & Cake Competition! That’s right, a cake club!

Capital Confectioners’ have a growing 35,000 vendors from all over the world.  Each year is given a theme – 2012 is “Renaissance”!  Cakes can range from children’s cakes to masters and professionals; there are non themed categories too like, wedding , party and special occasion cakes.

The show offers cake art classes and celebrity spotting from (my favorite channel) the food network.  They also have a tasting competition and I can’t stop thinking – how on earth do I become a judge?

Our Magnet of the week goes to DVD Gift Baskets!  They have been adding a business card magnets to each gift basket sold, to promote their business.   If you’re celebrating a B’day, holiday or need to schmooze a client, they have customizable baskets for any person.   Our top pick has to be the “Will Ferrell” Basket!

Congratulations to our Magnet of the week winner!  Unfortunately, he who designed this must remain nameless.  This is top secret Gable family business.  All we know, is that there are about 52 of them meeting in Philly in 2012.  We speculate there will be ceremonies for the older folk, handshakes and embraces, perhaps even games and rituals.

My source tells me that this custom magnet is being given away to each member of the Gable family in some kind of “Goody Bag”, with many other offerings and favors. First rule about the Gable Family goody bag; you don’t talk about the goody bag.  This is a major surprise.  Well, you can’t talk about it until everyone has received one.  Then the Gable family can share what they received, be grateful for the effort involved and admire the design and quality of this prestigious magnet.

Congrats Gable family, sounds like it’s going to be a lot of fun!

Each week we see hundreds and hundreds of different magnets and designs —from standard business card magnets all the way to clever car sign magnets and calendar magnets.

To highlight some clever, fun, and interesting designs we’re going to showcase a magnet of the week, starting with this week’s pick courtesy of Perry Township (Ohio) Road Department.

Stay tuned for next week’s pick.
