I submitted my initial information...what the heck, right? But, my recent photo might be a problem...um...k8memphis, um...we both may be on the radio...
Tell me what ya'll think...
I just realized, with the amount of us here on CC to choose from, they could end up with all CC'ers on there. Wouldn't that be cool? It'd be like a family reunion in the kitchen. But with cameras...lol
all4cake, I am ROLLING with laughter!!!! That photo should be on a T-Shirt that says "I took the cake challenge and survived! ...... sort of!!!!"
LOL....I just don't have any recent photos that don't resemble THAT. I reckon I could've done the webcam/myspace/chatroom shot(with camera stuck in the air and me lookin' all surprised like, "oh, you caught me! what IS that camera doin' up in the air like that???? uh oh, now, ya done went and got a cleavage shot in there too!" ) but that is sooooooooo not me...lemme try it just for fun....lol I am laughin' at the thought of it even.
CakesUnleashed, I could never do tv, besides I only take spells where I get silly and act like a fool
aligotmatt, ohhh that would be funny, would love to try that at this years family reunion. A couse I would sat that one out and flim hehehe.
niccicola, good for you girl for apply Quote: ( I'd be HONORED just to stand next to them and work on a cake in the same room as them ). I didn't even think of that, good one. I would never get my cake done for watching them do theirs
sweetcravings, I don't know, but maybe someone who knows can share that information with the rest of us.
fiddlesticks, sounds like a plan to me... you are wicked lady, but love your way of thinking
Sorry, monster dot com seekers, k8memphis has a secured spot on the radio, but can chose a sidekick if she wishes. k8memphis, if all4cake has any problems could she sidekick on the radio with ya?
Chef_Stef, yes that would be very cool
OHHHHHH my goodness Debi, quote: (That photo should be on a T-Shirt that says "I took the cake challenge and survived! ...... sort of!!!!")
I about laugh my self right out of the chair, DH and the dog think I have gone nuts from laughing...well they being off by much, on the gone nuts part
God Bless,
Sharon
p.s. still laughing at Debs comment. I have got to stop this before I get booted out of this thread.
all4cake, the myspace/chatroom/webcam comments, very funny, love it! oh and the pic also
I'm right there with Fiddlesticks and Tita in the audience. We have to have signs AND t-shirts!
Wish I really could go, that would be insane to meet all the CC greats.
Good luck to all of you talented decorators! Can't wait to see you on television. Just think, you'll be Superstars!
Kim
I agree with the audience signs and t-shirts...but we've gotta have that picture on the shirts!!
Ok...I took the plunge and sent in an email. I feel the sweat beading up on my brow already!! Holy Crap!!
I sent my e-mail but I'm afraid it's too late or they have more than enough talent that has already applied.
Good luck to those who get contacted!
Michele
Serenatea and Sugarflowers, both of you have beautiful cakes, I took a look at your photo's....and I have some of your cakes in my favorites.
Sugarflowers, maybe something went wrong with the e-mail or you might hear something after the weekend. If not try sending it again, if you are allow (sp?) to. Because it can't be because you aren't good enough, they (your cakes) are beautiful...and if they don't think so, they need a good hit with a huge piping bag
Good luck to the both of you!
God Bless,
Sharon
EDITED DUE TO: lots of mis-spelling...guess it's pass my bed time lol
Ah man, I already have something planned for that weekend. Shoot! Would have been cool to enter!
I'm volunteering now....as an assistant for anyone who might would like to abuse me...I mean use me as an assistant...that is if my mug doesn't get chosen as a competitor.
I sent my e-mail but I'm afraid it's too late or they have more than enough talent that has already applied.

Michele
Oh wow, wouldn't that be awesome! Holy crap, what if all the CC'ers they pick get on...then whose cakes would I add to my FAVS
...sniff...I'd have to go get Cable TV just to keep on y'all.
Ah man, I already have something planned for that weekend. Shoot! Would have been cool to enter!
Did I miss that part? Where does it state what weekend????
I was told that they were looking to start filming sometime between the end of May and July.
sugarflowers - I really wouldn't worry about anything until at least Monday - being that its the weekend, I doubt they are going through the email. When did you send your stuff in?? I find it VERY HARD to believe that they would call ME and not YOU! seriously!
Serenatea - I'm so glad you entered!! Get ready to make a video!!
Holy cow!! Its a laundry list of stuff they are looking for - they will send you the instructions and all the forms etc - Its supposed to be 10 minutes - I have NOT made my video yet but I have stressed out about it for the last 2 days!! haha!! I just don't know what to do!

Oh my goodness, a laundry list...just what do you have to put in the video? Do you have to show something with you decorating a cake or what?
God Bless,
Sharon
Basically they want you to talk about yourself and your cakes, they would like for you to be decorating something - piping or icing or modeling fondant, whatever. They want you to show your family and/or other interests you have. He sent me a list of suggested questions to answer. Then there were instructions on how to shoot the video, what to do and not to do etc - and you are supposed to pack all of that into 10 minutes!!! yea - right!
be creative, high energy, confident, show your house/home, show your husband, your kids, you decorating a cake, a finished cake, show you at work, and doing another hobby or interest...blah blah blah! (ok, can you tell I really don't want to make the video!) Oh well! I think I'm going to get started tomorrow - I have a cake to take to a friend and thought that might make some good "footage"! ha!
Even if I don't get called at least we will get to see a new set of decorators (I hope). And maybe the judges will be different. We can only hope on that part!
Michele
It is not the food network - so I would really hope that the judges are different!
It concerns me that one person has a LOT of influence in many areas and wanted their own show.
I still want to do it either way.
Michele
Michele - Its kinda late here and sometimes I'm slow anyway - but I have no clue what that last comment means - I feel so silly for asking but I am totally LOST! haha!
This seems like a lot of fun. I think I will try and enter. I have nothing to lose and my cakes are never ordinary. I'm the guy they call when they need a tombstone cake, not the flowery wedding cake.
My husband works in video production, so IF they contact me back, I will at least have someone who is capable to shoot and edit for me.
Saying that, I have learned a few things and would like to make some suggestions to everyone who is doing this.
1) write a script. have a plan. especially if you don't have the ability to edit. Write what you will say and practice a couple times.
2) Make sure it's well lit, but not over lit. Do not shoot yourself in the sun and squinting, unless you're on the beach and trying to get a bikini shot to woo the judges.
3) Use a tripod. Do not go hand held if you can avoid it. If you must, lean your arm (or have whoever is shooting it lean) against a wall or tree or something stable. This is not The Blair Witch Project, and nobody needs to get motion sickness from your video.
4) 10 minutes may not SEEM like a long time, but it is. In TV and Movie production, they shoot 2-6 hours to get 10 minutes of air time. This is where the script comes in handy. If you sit and talk to a camera for 10 minutes, it may be really boring. So talk for a minute, shoot yourself working on a cake for 30 seconds, show a hobby for 45 seconds, talk for another minute... ya know?
Come on CC'ers! We can win this!

It's a great opportunity indeed. I also think Edna would be wonderful. She certainly has the face for tv and really talented to boot. Good luck everyone.

Tell me what ya'll think...
Girl, you will have a long and fruitful (aka fruity) not to mention *inivisble carreer in radio. We can team up & take it down the road!!!
*faces have been changed to protect the innocent

... unless you're on the beach and trying to get a bikini shot to woo the judges.
<making sign of the cross>
Dear Jesus, please deliver the sugar infused (aka cellulite laden) amongst us from bikini shots even the cottage cheesy thought of bikini shots.
This is not The Blair Witch Project....
I think you might have some heretofore untapped prophetic qualities coming to surface, Alie!!
