Well, my hope for the future is to do Cakes We Bake events all over the U.S., so don't give up on the idea. In the meantime, you should hook up with ICES in your state.

That sounds like fun AND it's not terribly far for me - maybe only like 2 hours away. I would love to hear the details!

I am in the midst of negotiating with a gallery, It's an arts and craft gallery . The wedding cake that I will be displaying there is a dummy and will be displayed for 3 months . The cake is in my photos. it's a 3 tier with irises painted around it.
I thik it's a great idea Theresa, good luck but I think you should look at going down the dummy route

The thing I've been trying to figure out is how to make sure all the cakes move. I did speak to someone who said isomalt sugar sculptures hold up very well and that poured porcelain would also work very well for a gallery display. I am completely open minded about suggestions from everyone. I really appreciate your input.

So if I understnad correctly this is not going to be a display but to have real cakes to be purchased by real people to consumn?
How do yhou propose to get enough people to attend and bid to make it worth the decorators time and talent? How would you feel if you put in like 2 days making a "Cake Boss/Duff" type creation, then drove like six hours and no one was there to bid on it?

Lynne, even without me inviting anyone, my parents fill the gallery up to the brim every time they have an art show. That is not an issue at all.
