I was looking at Wedding Cake Design Pro software and was wondering if anyone uses it. I am really a tech type person and love to do everything on the computer. I do sketch my inital designs and then have brides approve them, but I just thought that this CAD would give more details. Any thoughts?
TIA

pinklisa-by looking at the site, there were lots of packages and add ons. which package did you buy? and did you download or buy the disc?
thanks
lol it's prob the latter. I make everything in photoshop. It took me a few months to learn the tools and figure out what everything does. but now it's all I use for creative/ marketing projects.
Agreed, Photoshop is a very powerful program. You can probably sign up for a course on it at your local community college if you're interested in using it to its full potential. Considering the program is also quite pricey, a course is a good investment in your purchase.
thanks for all the replys. i did go ahead and buy the software today and actually used it for my consulation that i did tonight. the bride and groom were very impressed. so far so good 
I use it quite a bit to show bride's how their cake will look in 3-D......soemtimes they just have trouble envisioning the cake the way I do. A couple of times it has actually saved me an angry bride I think......they think they know EXACTLLY what they want, and even when I say certain colors won't look good together...they KNOW what they want. Then they see the 3-D mock up and realize it's hideous! LOL
Here's a few cakes I've done...first is the WCDpro cake and then the real thing after it was made into real cake. They're not EXACTLLY perfect to real life,, but close enough to get the idea!
Wow! Now I'm curious -- where can we get this program?
I bought it last year & downloaded it on my son's computer which was practically brand new. It kept freezing up, and would only allow me to make 2 additions to each cake. So I could add a ribbon and a flower, but then I couldn't add any other embellishments; very aggrevating. So I don't even bother with it anymore. Wasted $90 in my opinion. Looking to buy photoshop and learn how to use it instead.
Okay, for those who have both, I do have photoshop but I'm not very good with it. About all I can do is size pictures. Can cake design be done on photoshop or do I need this other program too? Do they work well together?
KHalstead- thanks for the pics. it is really great to see the 3D image come to life. i have 2 "sketches" due and am really excited to work on them using the software.
Well what the heck, it's been discontinued???
