Hi Nan. Have you found a lot of new information on this site? Do you feel it is worth that rather steep cost? What kinds of things do they off on this site?
Jackie
wow i can't believe its over $200 and theres no kind of preview to the site!!! i like to know what i'm buying, there are so many free sites that i could never see myself paying that kind of money. thanks for sharing the link anyway.
Could be the original poster is a relative/friend as they posted Donna's site 6 months ago and it is the only two messages that has been posted.

My thoughts exactly...

once i looked at the site, that was my first thought. i just can't see anyone spending that kind of money and not know what they're getting. CC has everything on that site already, and if you can't find it on CC, someone will show you where to find it...and FREE.
the only advantage i could see is that if you were to buy books and videos yourself...of course, you would get to keep those after...i can't help thinking why pay for info when there's a wealth here for free (and personalized to your specific needs?)
on the site it says "Member only Discounts on Donna's how-to videos and tutorials", so i guess the $200+ is just to look and get a few tips, but you're gonna have to keep on spending!
I'll stick with CC....Best advice you 'll ever get for Free!!!
Yeah right! 
Just stepping in to say I don't think she's the owner of the site... I pulled up her pics, and the gumpaste flowers she uploaded say they are her first... Unless she got really good at making them in a year I doubt she started her own site... but then again, I seem to be wrong about things more than I am right-lol!

Exactly my thoughts. If you look, she's been a member since 2005 and only two posts. Hmmmmm. 
Besides, no one rocks it like Cake Central does! 
being a curious cat I had to take a peek. Donna has the right idea but I think in this down time it would be in her best interest to lower the cost. She might get more customers that can afford to stay with her longer.
I say good luck to those who are trying to make it own their own. It takes hard work and some guts!
CC is the place for me, where everyone knows your name (okay, picturing walking into Cheers)

Not sure if it takes guts or gall to post on another's site to gain clientelle. That would be like me coming to someone's bakery and passing out flyers for my cakes. But, whatever.
I agree she should cut the prices, it's expensive especially in light of the fact that you then have to buy products from the site. I saw another site like that, it offered free videos (same you can get on youtube, then if you wanted anything advanced, you have to pay for it on top of the membership, which was $19.95 a month. Comparable to "Donna's" site.
funny thing... in her first post she mentions You Tube videos. I wonder if that site used to have free info?
I've done a bit of research, and in all fairness to Donna, the owner of the site, what is being offered appears to be a live virtual classroom among other things.
...and NO I don't know anything more about this than what I've researched and don't know this woman or the OP personally or have any connection to either.

It is a membership website that will be a Virtual Cake Decorating Classroom through the use of How-To Videos, as a member you will have access to the forums, live online classes, photo gallery, giveaways and a free videos each month as well as other great ideas that I have in mind for those who have always wanted to take a cake decorating class but do not have access to local classes in their area or those who have taken classes but want to learn other advanced techniques in cake decorating. My new site will allow you to learn all their is to know about Cake Decorating from the comfort of your home at your convenience.
When you consider what can be invested in Wilton classes--and they don't begin to touch on topics that are listed on this site, travel time and expense--this could be an attractive alternate to people wanting to learn.
Just saying...

I have to agree. And it's only $21.95 a month. Not like you are taking a huge hunk of change out at one time.
I wouldn't mind joining if I knew what classes she would be teaching ahead of time. So I know if I want to spend the $21.95 that month or not. This could be a good thing for some.
edited to add: There's nothing posted but there is a calendar.
I love CC myself and wouldn't want to go elsewher but her name sounded familiar so I checked out her site and saw her pic. I knew I'd seen her before and sure enough she has several "free" youtube videos out there.
Here's just one:
