The pictures are not on their website... but my cake is also in my gallery ("Best of Show"). I didn't expect it to be there - I was just flipping through and saw it. They had a section covering the winners from the San Diego cake show.

I think you can order a copy or maybe as a back issue . I think the website is americancakedecorating.com they publish mailbox news as well as american cake decorating magazines . I have subscriptions to both magazines and I love them American cake decorating is more on the professional side and mailbox news is mostly home decorators like me . I think you would love them both they are a little pricey but worth it I think . icon_smile.gif

Congratulations! Be sure to cut it out and frame it!

BrandisBaked..............I remember seeing yours at the SD show. Stunning! Were you the one who posted earlier about overhearing two people talking about it, stating that the figures couldn't possibly have been made by you/be edible, they were purchased (or something like that??)? I would take that as a compliment---it showss great skill!

Yep. I was pretty cheesed about that... It was my first cake competition, and to stand there listening to people talking trash about my work really turned me off. I didn't think I'd ever want to enter another competition again (but I'm going to Tulsa in September anyway. I'll show them! LOL!)
