Welcome New Cakers from Virginia

Good Morning Everyone, First of all- I would like to say that I am sorry that I have not been on here much. Little background.... about a year & a half ago I fell on ice and broke not one but both ankles- it has been a horror story since then. Anyway, I am still dealing with the ankles and many complications from the accident. I just wanted you guys to know why I have been missing in action!

Ok, now for anyone that is new to this site and to our group- WELCOME with a capital W! We are glad you have found us here. This is a terrific site not only for the professional- experienced baker, but also for the newbies to this art. There is just so much talent on here, and so many helpful people! If you have a question or need some help- there is always an answer  for you. When you have some time (if you haven't already), take a little tour around this site. The forums, etc. are amazing! 

Theresa Happe (who started this) is usually on and has monitors watching- so it is a safe site for you too. You will be very impressed I am sure.

As far as the Virginia group goes- I hope that all of you feel free to email each other, and bounce things off of each other etc. Share recipes- share events that may be going on, and also share any neat stores that you would recommend. This is a place to share whatever you think would be helpful to other people in this area. 

I really would like to get some people together- looking at the different areas, I would suggest that you see who is near you and maybe contact them & get to know them (if you want to socialize and make new and exciting friends)! We are spread out all around VA. 

I will try to check in more often- but please feel free to meet-greet-share and grown with your fellow Virginians. 

Finally, the Holidays are upon us, and I am sure you are all getting crazy right now with your schedules. I hope that everyone has a safe-healthy- and happy Holiday season.

That is it for now- I will check in when I can. Happy Baking! Julie :)

HI Everyone... I am sorry I have not been able to get on here daily as I was doing before. I have some "challenges" at home and have not had the time to play... I would like to welcome the new members to the Virginia Bakers group and hope thet you all are enjoying this site!
Please feel free to post any comments, suggestions, recipes, or feedback for the other members to see.
To the new members, I am just a hobbiest and not very good yet(but I am working on it). I have a passion for this and I love food. LOL I have done more with cookies than cakes, but I am willing to try anything. It is nice to see just how fast this site has grown. I am excited for Theresa(who started it). She has done a fantastic job in building this up and growing the membership.
There are other sites, but I believe that the new people to decorating will benefit greatly from playing on here.
One last thing- if you are new to this, don't be afraid to ask questions on here or the home page site. Poeple on here are very helpful & sharing, and will do what they can to help you! Enjoy...

Hi Everyone, For those people living in Virginia if you are looking for cake or candy supplies and think that Michaels is your only hope try this...

Fran’s Cake and Candy Supplies
Larger store and plenty of parking.
10927 Main Street
Fairfax, VA 22030
(703) 352-1471

Fran's has many things that you can not find at Michaels. It is a a good size store,a little unorganized(in my opinion), but if you need something you can ask or you may order it from them. They are very helpful and knowlegable. They also offer classes on site. I just found out about this place a little while ago and I stopped in- I did have fun there! So, when your bored and looking for something to do- try this store for your needs.

If anyone in VA has other stores, suppliers to share -please do. We are all always looking for the perfect store.
Have a great day.... Julie
