Hi there...I am in Brooklyn....I have been looking around for contests and stuff like that in NY....I came across one called "Cake Walk NY" that was held in May at Grand Central....it was sponsered by one of the wedding magazines.....I'm going to be looking for it next year...

I have never come across a club or anything like that, but if I do...I will let everyone in New Yawk know about it!

Cutecookie......I'm in Bay Ridge....Hi neighbor!!!

Where are you taking the Wilton course? I just contacted a chocolate place called JoMart....Ave. R & Nostrand Ave. I don't want the basic course cause I know a lot of the stuff already so the owner told me that he would do a customized class for me for whatever I needed to learn.

I never took a course so there are a lot of short cuts and basic stuff I need to be aware of.

Talk to you soon....

lol actually...born and raised in NYC with a detour in Brooklyn..but hey...I never had a problem in Brooklyn..right?

Why is every NY afraid to go into Brooklyn? As a matter of fact...it was chic to Live in Park Slope and work in NYC....they always said I looked like a Bensonhurst girl.

Then I was offended when I saw...WORKING GIRL..lol

"wha chu lookin' at?"

*slapping myself silly!

Hey hey hey, Brooklyn in the house. (Nostrand Ave. and Maple street)

I was wondering were all the NY people were.

The only club I know of near by, is the NJ club. They just had a meeting a few weeks ago. I receive there mailings but have never had a chance to go to the meeting.

Hey Adven..Nice to meet you neighbor..what a small world...I am taking course 1 at the peppermill..50th street and 16th ave I believe. They offer the basic courses. I only found a couple of places in this area that offer the courses so went with that one.

That's so cool Cutecookie...I'm going to look into that place....

Hi TwinDees....Which way is Maple? south towards Sheepshead Bay or north towards Utica ave? Suppose you're at King's Highway..which way do you go?

Diva....you crazy girl.....Working girl was from Staten Island..LOL

And the truth about Brooklyn is that it's becoming untouchable! Real Estate has skyrocketed as people are discovering that the "bad" neighborhoods actually have some of the most beautiful architecture. Everything is slowly turning around. There are "bad" neighborhoods in every city....Brooklyn also has some of the best neighborhoods as well. Fuggedabadit!!

Hi Adven..Actually no I haven't shopped there.. I literally am just starting to get into decorating. I made a doll cake last year and it was my first time even using fondant. A friend of mine kind of got me hooked on the idea of learning and taking things to the next step recently and I have been reading and researching non stop about different tequniques that I wasn't even aware of. I will definately need to check it out though since there don't seem to be too many places to get supplies close by. Thanks for the tip.

For all those "newbie's" like myself that live in Queens. There is a place called PattyCakes that offer cake decorating Wilton certified classes. I think their website is www.pattycakes.com.

Hey Cute Cookie where in Bayside did you grow up in?

Hey adven68 - Maple Street is North towards Utica Ave. Maple meets Utica. I will have to check Kerekes out.

I signed up for classes at the peppermill but took them at Michaels instead.


Pattycakes is very good. I have never visited the store. but I have ordered from them may times on-line. And since I live in Brooklyn and they are in queens you get everything next day if you place the order early in the morning. Just do standard shipping not express. They have never failed me.

Yes PattyCakes is nice...and cheap.

Twin Dees I LOVE your quote!!

FYI for all you New Yorkers. The 8th annual Chocolate Show is going to be on Sat Nov. 12 at the Metropolitan Pavillion. It should be fun to see what they are doing with Chocolate these days.
