Decorating By kellykake Updated 21 Mar 2006 , 7:31pm by cakemakerbaker
Hi. I have been in search of a cake club in my area, without any luck. I am considering starting a club in my area. How do I get started, what types of things go on in the meetings? (Since I have never been to a cake club meeting before). Any information or literature you can direct me to is most appreciated. Thank you!
Speaking of ICES.. Does anyone know this:
Do you HAVE to be a member to go to one of the ICES convention?? I really want to go to the one in Grapevine this year.. After reading their website, I'm confused.. I just want to be a guest..I dont want to submitt a cake or a sugar piece. I just want to browse.. Any ideas!
As far as I know you don't have to be a member to go the convention but if your not the tickets cost more.
Other than that, I don't know any particulars.
HTH,
Heather

Do you want to just view the cakes and nothing else invloved with the convention? They usually have a public day or two for people to come in and look at the cakes. I want to say it is $5 to $7 for the pass, and the money usually goes to a local charity (I believe). There is also a one day pass for the Vender's room for $50 I think.
If you are wanting to attend any of the demo's or such, then you are better off joining ICES as you will pay less.
Here is information from the ICES website regarding the convention they are having in Grapevine, Texas this year.

I am planning on attendin this convention at the Gaylord Texan hotel that weekend. It will be my first time to attend & I am really excited. I have been to this hotel before for some other events & it is a very nice facility with lots of things to do in the area.
Hope this helps!
