I have a brother that lives in GA and are looking for a cake decorator/baker around the Buford/Alphretta area. They may be willing to drive farther.

He knows about my new love from cake decorating and asked me about it this pasted weekend. While we were talking he said that him and his wife really wished they could find someone locally to do cakes for them. But he said he didnt really know where to start. I said I DO I DO!!!... so i started here.

Anyone out there interested or knows someone that might be?

Thanks
Tina

Julia,

Thanks for posting. Isn't that all the luck lol I have to say Buford/Alpharetta is a LOVELY area. I live in arkansas but we vacation in buford during the summer to visit with my brother and family.

Hopefully someone out there in CC land can help me out.

Thanks again for your reply

Take Care
Tina

Hi! There are many of us here. We even formed a little local club but our "leader" moved recently to another part of the state. icon_cry.gif Hopefully, we can get going again at some point.

I'm in the metro area, Buford/Alpharetta is about 30-40 mins. away from me depending on where they are. This is more of a friends/family hobby for me too right now. I know there are some ladies in the Stone Mountain, Conyers, Dekalb County and Dunwoody area that may be a bit closer. I'm sure there are many others out there so we'll see if someone a little more convenient for him posts.

Here's a map too to give you an idea. icon_lol.gif I'm in the Smyrna/Vinings part of town.

I live right under the "L" in Atlanta, so I guess I can say that is "metro".

I only started doing cakes for friends, so I am not anyone's best bet for a paid cake, but I wanted to find out about the local cake "club". I would like to be included, if it gets going again.

Thanks!

Hey, I live just above the last "a" in Atlanta on that map! No idea on the cake club, but thought I'd say hi.

TinaJoy07 -- I have friends in Alpharetta who swear by Cakes By Darcy, which is technically in Roswell, but not too far out of the way.

We just started a yahoo group almost a year ago. A few of us have met up a couple of times to just meet, have lunch and chat. It would be nice to get together with local cakers to share tips, demo, etc. Or if it's just to do lunch/dinner! Everyone's been so busy.

If you go to Yahoo Groups, you should be able to search for Georgia Cake Club. icon_smile.gif
