Take Care,

I'm In Los Angeles.

I go through phases of being down there every weekend and the only real cake supply I've seen is Moskotel's (they have a lot of Wilton stuffand they are affiliated with Micheal's) in the flower district I've seen a lot of craft stores but not cake supplies.

The place I'm dying to get to is Parrish's cake supply in Gardena.
there are some small places in East LA. I have a list of suppliers PM for the list (a lot that I've never been too).

Hey all!
I am a true valley girl- from the sf valley that is. So glad to hear about other socal bakers out there.

For anyone in the los angeles area surfas is a great place. They have tons of cake supplies and at better prices than michaels or joanns!

Hey I am from central ca. and I highly recommend cake camp.I have become a "addict" to this event. Yes it can be expensive, but it's like a vacation you just start a cake camp fund buy putting $10away here and there. I am driving over and if anyone needs to car pool. I have a van with plenty of room for "supplies". Can set up a meeting place. Sometimes it is hard to fly and transport things there and to bring your finished items home. I have been attending cake camp since the late '90s when it was held in Riverside. Each year it grows and gets better and better. The instructors are the best in their field and are ready to share their craft with anyone at any level of ability. At ICES you will see more demos but at cake camp it is more hands on. ICES will be held in San Diego next year so it will be close for us Californians.
Hope to see some of you at camp.

I live in East L.A County in the Walnut Valley area. I'm almost 100% positive I'm going to cake camp. I should probably register, huh? lol. Can anyone tell me about the monthly ca cake club meetings? What are they like?

The meetings are held about 4 X a year. They are held in San Diego,
Orange, Glendora, sometimes up north in the bay area, and there is always a meeting at cake camp. There is demos (short) and alot of networking with other professionals/and other cake decorators. There are raffles, and there is drawing for scholorships(?) whch can be used at cake camp or any other class of your choice. The meetings usually start on Sat around noon and concludes on Sunday afternoon. Many times is is held inconjuntion with San Diego and ICES meeting at the same time.
These are not your everyday BORING meetings alot of fun and making new friends. COME, JOIN AND HAVE FUN.
See ya there

Hello Everybody,

I live in Bishop, CA. just 40 miles from Mamoth.I have lived here for almost ten years, I grew up in Southern CA. (San Fernando Valley). I have a love/hate relationship in Bishop,CA. It is a beautiful place to live, a very small town. What I hate is there are alot of things you don't have access to. We have only two stores in town a grocery store, and a small town market. When I lived down South your choices are endless where to Eat out, Shop, Etc..

When you shop here it's more of a Search, I could not find any pudding box mix in my Stores. You can request the store to Order it..this can take weeks if it happens at all. Alot of people shop either in Reno, Nv. or down So. to Los Angeles, or online. I love this website, everyone is so talented..I wish I could be as exceptional, and so beautiful....Thanks. Kathyb

Hey Kathy!
I spent some time in Tom's Place when I was young. My dad ran the gas station, my Aunt ran the hotel and my grandparents had the cafe.Dad used to drive the snowplows on the road to make extra cash every winter. Beautiful place to grow up.
We fished in the lake all the time. I remember my mom had to drive to Bishop to give birth to my brother. It was her fourth child so that 30 minute drive was scary for her. Yep, pretty rough being so far away from the city.
