I've been reading and browsing through some of the sites hosted by cake clubs in TX and cant find one within a good distance from me so I was thinking of maybe starting a small chapter here. I have a friend who is interested in it as well so I though I might as well put the thought out there to my fellow Texan CC'ers. Nothing has been really thought through yet, we have just discussed maybe meeting for lunch or tea one a month to chat and such. Anyone interested? I'm in Ellis county and as far as I know, the closest club is in McKinney. It would be very informal for anyone and everyone.

Hi all

The one that meets in Mckinney is Sugar Wonders. We are a great bunch and have meetings once a month. Tomorrow, Aug 11, I am actually teaching a workshop on Topsy Turvy cakes in the Sachse area. They meet the third Wednesday every month. Each meeting we try to have someone demonstrate or share a tip and try to have guest people when we can. Please go the website and join, we would love to have new members.

Hope to see you there.

Dawn

If there is a club in Arlington, Dallas or Ft Worth, I am interested in knowing. McKinney is just a tad far for me, but would certainly try to attend once at least.

I'm going to make a Yahoo Group for an Ellis County Cake Club and then I will post it for those who are interested in joining. I probably wont get it done today, but I sure will try!
