My friend from Chicago, she works at Wilton, emailed me that the ICES website posted a tenative scheduled of ICES 09 demos offered. Go to the ICES website not ICES 09 website.

Anyone planning going to Chicago next summer? I received a card with a picture a cupcake on the front cover. My sister, in laws, friends chipped in an will be paying for my hotel expenses at ICES in Chicago. This is the best present ever I received. I also received a gift certificate from my friend "clara" that works for Wilton in Illinois,

Pastry chef friends and former instructors put a nice welcome home basket and received a Gift certificate to take a class at ICES in NY-- I completed by baking and pastry diploma there (weekend course onlu)

This is the best Christmas ever, and I got my old job back as an accountant at the university. My husband also is at his old job. I guess Irvine CA was not for us. I loved our short three months in Orange County. The Big Apple is our home.

Happy and Healthy New year 2009 with love, Stacie
