The excitement is starting to sink in. Tomorrow I am going to a cake decorating demonstration featuring Elisa Strauss from Confetti Cakes. It is 2 hours long and she is going to show how to make a present cake with the top open and tissue paper Do you think i will be allowed to take pictures of her? Would she sign my book I am so excited it just sank in tonight

AAHHHH!!! Have Fun! I'm going to her shop for a class in April I think, maybe March. She's doing the monster critter from her kids book. she's also doing a class on the box but I thought the critter was cuter and who can afford more than one of her classes ?!?

ENJOY!!!!

Wish it was me!!! I would love to be goin to the demo.

So, SO jealous!! She is my favorite! Have fun!

Wow! Sounds very exciting! Where are the classes located and how much does she charge? I can dream can't I!

Hi cocobeen-

Visit American cake Decorating Magazine website. They have a list of Elisa Strauss classes. I think she has one April 18th in NY. Check it out. I live in New york. If I here of any of her classes I will PM you.

Sooooooo jealous! Have a great time. If it were only one day later - sigh. Am coming to NYC for a class this weekend for work. I just took this up as a hobby this summer and imagine my surprise when my roommate casually mentioned that she knew a cake woman from NY who had been on the Food Network. Turns out she is very good friends with Elisa's husband and spent some time with them this summer in Europe! I could have died!

p.s. I would definitely bring your book for her to sign.

Have fun! I love her!

OH am I jealous!!!! I would definitely bring a camera - all the instructors I've had have been very open to letting folks take pictures throughout the process...
Have fun and definitely post here and tell us how it was!

She's doing a two-day class up here just east of Toronto too!!!! I am so excited! It's May 4-5, 2009 and here's the website with all the details...

i've taken a class with her before.
we did a mini version of her sushi cake.
it was so much fun.
she is so nice and helpful - she gave alot of tips which applied to the cake we were making but also things we could apply to all cakes in general.
