i cant afford both, but would like to subscribe to one....which is better? i am an amature, but would like to become great.....one day

I don't subscribe to MBN but I hear it focuses more on cakes and includes more instructions. ACD is about 50% ads...very light on info. Shows only a few cakes with instructions. I'd go with MBN.

thanks lisa!!!!! since money is limited.....i would like to get the one with more cake pictures and directions

Mail Box News is best. More cakes, recipes, instructions and inspirational ideas.

You could order a recent back issue of each and see which you like, before committing to the subscription. (I say recent because ACD seems to have changed alot from the old back issues I have.) I am also a Newbie - I get both but I much prefer MBN for ideas. ACD seems more for professionals.

Have fun!

thank you guys!!!! i think i will order a back issue of both, then decide....but i am leaning more towards mailbox news.
thanks again!

there is a special that if you order both ACD and MBN you can get a one year subscribtion for $45.00 sounds like alot of money....but its actually just a couple of cake sales, hahaha

I've never heard of Mail Box News?? I have the other mag. Not overly impressed with it.

I just subscribed to MBN and have subscribed to ACD now for a couple of years... ACD doesn't give very good instructiion for their cakes.. very heavy on the advertising... I'm anxious to get the MBN subscription in so I can compare the two of them

Where do you find these MBN and ACD? I would like to look into it as well, but I did a search and couldn't find anything?

EDIT: Nevermind, I found them!
