Just wondering who your favorite cake decorators are.

I know Collette Peters, but who else should we try to 'inspire' to be someday, and do they have websites?

No one has a favorite cake decorator???? I know we have many talented and outstanding artists on CC, but surely someone has some favorites that they like and buy their books to look through.

Anyone??????

Hi, fourangelsmommie.

One of my all time favorite cake decorators is Margaret Braun. Her work is just great! Check out her website using the following link: http://www.margaretbraun.com.
I also love Colette Peters and of course my cake instructor Irene! thumbs_up.gif

Mike is one of my all time favorites - I think he should have won in a couple of the Food Network shows, but they always seem to pick Colette over him. I like her too, though.

I like Colette's cakes but that is more because she taught herself and has done really well. I have a lot of respect for people who teach themselves to do amazing things. I am still new so I am sure I will one day find others.

Besides Collette & Margaret Braun, I also love Scott Woolley cakes. His flowers are soooo realistic and his designs are a real delight.

marj ~ You're right, there are many FINE decorators who belong to CC. I love to see all the fantastic cakes that are shown here.
I think though, ''fourangelsmommie'' was asking about the ''Big Professtionals".

Well,

Lindy Smith, Alan Dunn and Debbie Brown are my favs. I actually don't care that much for Collette, Margaret or Kerry..Let me just say, IMHO (in my humble opinion) sometimes less is moreand when I was trained, it was just after the minimalist period icon_rolleyes.gif

I think Ron Ben Israel is awesome! Unfortunately, he doesn't have a lot of pics on his website - but his work is AMAZING! I also love Elisa Kraus from Confetti Cakes. And I love Marina from Just Cakes. I also love Mike from Mike's amazing cakes - he got me interested in decorating a LOOONG time ago when he was on Reading Rainbow.... anyone remember that ? icon_wink.gif One of my favorite episodes icon_smile.gif

Of course I love Collette Peters. icon_smile.gif Duff Goldman is cool too - but I love Collette more..... oh and Bronwyn - I can't remember if that's how you spell her name - she's been in a couple Food Network challenges and she teaches in TX. She's awesome!

I understand some of thoes cakes can be waaaaay too much. thoes victorian grand cakes just look ugly to me but collette has some that are simpler that I like. I do like the "nights sky" cake she made.

Meghan89's cakes are my favorite. Her designs are completely unique. Art inspires me, decorating does not.

I have to say that my hubby is my all-time favorite cake decorator...just because he is so cute and cuddly, kind of like a stand-up bear cake. icon_wink.gif

If you mean FAMOUS decorators, I'd say that Bronwyn is tremendous. I also admire Mike from Mike's Amazing Cakes.

If you mean soon to be famous decorators from Cake Central, Adven68 is my absolute idol. I'm still waiting on the book with instructions! Of course, Boween ranks high on my list, along with Meghan89, CJF, Ginger08, Tuggy (of course!), not to forget the girls, Kitagirl and Flourgrl. Lot's of other amazing talent here as well!

Collette would be my first choice. She takes
the time to teach others.
Scott clark woolley for his sugar flowers
Dede Wilson who has a great book as well as cakes.
Mainly, I like the ones who share their tips on decorating.

I really like the work of Bronwen Weber. I saw her work at the competetion here in Asheville, NC with the gingerbread house competition on Food Network (back in '05... I believe) and then she won the Wedding Cake division at the Oklahoma Sugar Art Show also on Food Network in 2005. Her work is really cool.
