I just got this e-mail!!!

"Dear Wilton Method Cake Decorating Student:

Wilton is very excited to announce BAKE DECORATE CELEBRATE!, our very own public television show launching this spring. As a valued Wilton customer and cake decorator, we wanted to share the exciting details with you.

On BAKE DECORATE CELEBRATE!, viewers will see how exciting it is to create great cakes, cupcakes, cookies, candies and more. In each episode, hosts Nancy Siler and Melanie Glasscock will focus on a specific theme such as Kids Birthdays, Garden Party Desserts or Chocolate Treats. Theyll decorate specialty projects based on that theme and give related decorating ideas to make the celebration complete. The show is not only geared toward the non-decorating consumer so we can get them excited about baking and cake decorating, it is also full of ideas and inspiration for anyone with decorating or entertaining experience.

BAKE DECORATE CELEBRATE is supported by a web site that will feature step-by-step instructions for all of the projects seen on the show (about 120). Youll also find basic decorating techniques, an Ask Nancy link, discussion forum and inspirational ideas for every celebration. Check it out!

www.bakedecoratecelebrate.com

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Local public television stations have the choice of whether to carry BAKE DECORATE CELEBRATE!. Please take a few moments to let your PBS station know that you want to see BAKE DECORATE CELEBRATE! on the air!


** VISIT PBS ONLINE: Go to www.pbs.org, select Station Finder from the menu at the bottom of the home page then enter your zip code. When the list of stations appears, select your station then click on the stations email address to send your request. Or, paste this link in your browser: http://www.pbs.org/stationfinder/stationfinder_relocalize.html


** CALL OR WRITE YOUR LOCAL STATION: Send your request for BAKE DECORATE CELEBRATE to the station manager and encourage your friends, family and Wilton students to do the same.


If you enjoy using the skills you learned in your Wilton classes, we hope youll help us with our new venture in public television. Thank you in advance for helping make BAKE DECORATE CELEBRATE a success!

Best regards,

Wilton Enterprises"

Thanks for posting this. I had heard about the show some time ago but when I checked, our local PBS station wasn't going to carry it. I'm going to email them right now! Thanks again!

I saw this on the Wilton site, and unfortunately none of the PBS stations that service my area currently have plans to air this, but "will submit" as a suggestion.................that's ok, the website should be a good one to use instead

yeah... here's a copy of my e-mail:


To Whom It May Concern:

Wilton has created BAKE DECORATE CELEBRATE!, a public television show launching this spring. I understand that some PBS stations are carrying it while others are not. It appears that you are currently not carrying this program in your schedule. I hope that you will consider this request in bringing this program to the Houston metroplex area.

Thank you,

tanyap

I got the free gift after course 1 last month. It was a Wilton kit to put colored sugar in a tube and stick a plastic heart on top. Not really anything I will ever use.

I wonder though I have never gotten a e-mail from them and I have signed up on there website as well as given my e-mail in class icon_mad.gif I have also ordered several thing directly from wilton.com! Hummmmm......

Not NJN in Trenton! I got the following response today:

"Dear Diane,

At present we dont have plans to air Bake, Decorate, Celebrate and it is not in our lineup for the near future. However, I will bring your suggestion to the attention of the Programming Department. They take such suggestions seriously and all I can say at this point is stay tuned!"

I guess I'll just keep trying!

That's funny. Our students' free gift was the decorating tip pouches. Perhaps it varies depending on where you teach!

I agree! I emailed both the Phila. and Trenton affiliates (we get both here in Cape May Co.) and I'll keep doing so 'til they change their minds!
