Count me in!! I think we should keep it to amateurs?? Or maybe have 2 divisions for amateur & professional??

Hello, I'm a semi-newbie -- I'm on Course 3 of Wilton and going to take Fondant & Gum Paste in May. I'm glad I'm doing them now because my instructor says Wilton is reformatting the courses soon. I have a lot to learn and practice with my decorating and also am curious about maybe baking out of my home -- I understand there are health laws and things to know about and it varies by where you're located. Nice to find this site, I'm sure I'll enjoy it! :)

Hi all, really a newbi at this, but just love my new found passion. I am in Australia and doing my first cake decorating course in May...no Wilton courses in my state of NSW and the Planet cake courses are very expensive, so hoping the local community college course will be able to give me a few ideas. Plus, of course any tips from everyone here :)

Hi everyone! I am from near Toronto, Ontario (Canada). I just finished the Wilton course #2 and am excited to start course #3 on Wednesday! I'm looking forward to working with fondant! My friend is coming back to Canada from Switzerland August 2011 and has asked me to make her wedding cake! So, any tips and tricks are much appreciated!

Fondant is fun -- I didn't know what to expect but it wasn't all that difficult. Our instructor had us do a square cake first and said rounded ones will be easier. I even think the fondant is tasty; it's pretty sweet, kind of marshmallowy. This is the Wilton premade I'm referring to. I want to try some from scratch -- I have recipes. Maybe after my classes I'll get to experimenting.

Hi, I'm from White Lake, MI! I have been creating cakes for about 3 years. I'm always looking for new techniques and ideas!

Hi I'm from New Orleans, La. and I have been baking most of my life but have only been baking for out as we say here in N.O. for about 5 years. I still consider myself an amateur because of my poor decorating skills. I have some what solved this problem by casting decorations in white chocolate and placing them on the cakes. My main thing is cookies.

Hello, I am from Houston Texas. I began making cakes when my daughter turned one, and it just turned to an addiction from there.
