Hey guys,

I actually bought a bed from someone in Langhorne once, not too long ago. I might have been just around the corner from ya and didn't even know it lol...

Hey fooby, where did you come from and how hard is it to get your license here in the states?

Hi Amanda! I'm originally from the Philippines. Been in the states for 3 years. I was able to drive on my first year since I had my international driver's license. After that I was just too lazy to go through the motion of getting one. I will sometime before the year ends. I just can't see myself studying for the written exam. Grrrr icon_lol.gif

Hi Everyone!
I live up in Sussex County, NJ. I feel like you all when I drive all over the area to deliver people my cakes. So far, just for friends and family. I actually have a cake to deliver all the way down to Atlantic City next month.
I would love to get together and form a cake club with you guys. Maybe we could find a central location or rotate locations. It would be great sharing ideas with you all. [/code]

HI Everyone,

I'm new at this cake decorating business. I'm not "legal" yet. At this point, I do family birthdays and special occassion cakes for friends and family. Maybe once we get a bigger place (soon i hope). I live in Northeast Philly (near Franklin Mills) about 15 minutes from Langhorne. We are about 5 minutes from the bucks county. I would love to meet others from the area.

If anyone in Pa is Licensed and would like to start a referral system pm me with your business contact info and I will compile a list of whomever would like to participate and pm it back to everyone.

I am near Altoona, Pa and have had people calling from Pittsburg and Reading inquiring about cakes but it is too far. I would love to have people to refer these people too.

I can't serve as back up, as i'm not 100% confident of my work to go out there and sell. But i'm here to help otherwise.




a big "ditto" on that too Katskakes! I am also in Central NJ and would love to get to know other decorators in the area but I am not confident enough to be back up icon_cry.gif Any good cake supply stores around here?

I'm in the same situation as swingme83 and ladefly. Across the river from Philly in SJ/Sicklerville area.

Passionate hobby baker - and since it's unlikely I'd ever set up a licensed kitchen, I've always wondered if there is anywhere I could work weekends - or just lend a helping hand to another CC'er in the area if they needed it.

Thanks for starting this thread - it's very interesting.

Hey, All!

Most of you already know I am in downtown Allentown, PA. Would love to get together some time. Autumn would be best for me - by then all the organizing and drape hanging and furniture buying will be done in the new home.

Wow - I didn't realize how many of us there are! I live right below Quakertown about 45 minutes from Philly. I will check out the myspace. I don't even know if my myspace is still active. I don't know the last time I checked it. I am legally homebased and would love to have some back ups and be a back up. Good thread, Kitagirl!

I'm in Carbon County, PA. Grew up in Schuylkill County, so I didn't go far, lol. I'm not "legal" and I'm self taught (still learning many, many wonderful things) but I would love to be included icon_smile.gif
