There is to be a celebrity cake decorating contest at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel in Nashville on July 1st this year. Bronwen Webber and other decorators along with country singers and a movie star will be competing in teams....I might have to check this out...

this looks and sounds like fun... do you live near this? What is the venue like? I didn't look at the site too long, does it provide hotel information and stuff? I might have to do this, take a road trip with my mom or my sis in law icon_smile.gif

I'm a little over a hundred miles from Nashville and I'm THINKIN'.......I probably NEED to be at this event! LOL

The Opryland Hotel is a lovely resort type hotel with wonderful eateries and shopping. It IS, however, kinda pricey! But, there are lots of hotels/motels on that side of town that are well within reason and are nice places.

Oh my goodness! The National Pastry Championship as well? I HAVE to visit my friend's that live in Nashville to see this event!

Hey AmandaPanda,

Maybe we can start a CC section in the seating area. That would be cool.

I actually got this link from a post from those cookie/cake video things. The Opryland Hotel is amazing. I went there for an ICES National convention quite a few years ago. I went into the hotel on a Thursday and didn't come out until Monday....The place is freaking huge and great but pricey restaurants. I think this is a one day thing though. I now live about 5 hours away. I use to live in Louisville but moved bacl to the frozen state of Indiana... icon_cry.gif

OK. AmandaPanda and I are trying to see who is going to Nashville for Sunday's competition. Please P.M. to let us know. We are trying to arrange to get together and to at least sit together at the event.

Hope there are more going. I want to meet everyone!
