Glad to find out that it is a fellow CC'er. I loved that cake and thought it was so pretty. I love chocolate buttercream, but have been afraid to do a basketweave because I was unsure of what to put with it. Now I know.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! icon_biggrin.gif

Thanks for all of the congrats!!!! I am just on cloud nine right now. As for how it got published, I emailed a picture of my cake to them. I had no idea it would be published and how quickly, at that.

Thanks for suggesting I have a "nominate me" button. I haven't posted 100 posts, so apparently, I don't qualify yet. Too bad, it's not just on the quality of your cakes. I guess I'll have to find more time to post on the forum to get that privilege. But thanks for suggesting it.

I love decorating cakes. And I try to push myself to create something new each time I do a cake. I am pretty much self taught. This site has given me a wealth of information, and the members are just fantastic. So thank you everyone!!!!!

Here is some more info regarding the Nominate Me button. The idea is to include all members regardless of their level of cake decorating skills.

How do you choose a member to be spotlighted?
Modified on 2006-09-05


We are looking for people that have gone above and beyond to make cakecentral.com such a wonderful place. From submitting great recipes, and helping others in the the forums, to submitting photos of thier own work.

We are not choosing people based on whether we think thier skill level is superior. What we are doing is choosing people that we think are just all-around great individuals.

Don't be discouraged if you haven't been in the spotlight yet, just keep up the great work, and positive attitude who knows.... maybe you'll be asked next

Thanks MrsMissey for all the info. I'm not a professional by any means, I just love what I do. I completely understand the 100 posts requirement. With children and cake orders, I don't always have time to get online and chat on the forums. But, I am close to the 100 posts. Besides, being in the member spotlight isn't the measure of a true cake decorator. It's how you feel inside about what you do. If you enjoy it, it will show. And that's measure enough for me. I am flattered that other members like my cakes enough to suggest I have a nominate me button. I didn't even know what that was, so I asked, and now I know. Being published in American Cake Decorating Magazine is completely mind blowing!!! I am blessed in so many ways. This was just a great day for me, and I'm glad I could share it with other cc members. So again, thanks for all the support and for all of the information. You learn something new everyday!!!!!
