I went to the amaretti booth and they were giving out the boxes with like 18 different 2oz samples, it looks awsome! I can't wait to try it out!

Those pictures were great! It looked like a lot of fun! icon_cry.gif You know you're addicted when you are busy looking at the decorators and the cakes, and forget all about the country music stars! And I love Country music! lol. Anyway, thanks so much for sharing, and I'll be sure to write the date for the show on my calendar.

I went too! Got to sit on THE FRONT ROW in FRONT of Bronwen's kitchen! Had my pic made with Martin, Norman AND Bronwen, but, my friend's camera skills are really not great and Martin's and Norman's didn't come out AT ALL! I was really disappointed but, she felt sooo bad, I just told her it was okay!

I'm glad to get the date because I didn't actually know when it was going to air!

Weren't all the cakes soooo good! Well, SOME better than others, huh? LOL

The most fun I've EVER had!

I was there also!!! My DD went with me and we had a great time. We were on the third row in front of Norman's booth. I glad you knew the airing date, I never heard that. I also missed the sculptures in the back. Silly me, I didn't even realize they were setting up stuff like that back there. icon_redface.gif I did get a lot of pictures but I haven't had a chance to download them yet. It was 10:30 when I got home last night and had to come to work this morning. icon_sad.gif It's too bad we didn't all know each other by looks we could have all introduced ourselves.

the sculptures weren't in the back ... they were actually in another hall of the hotel, in one of the rooms that they were going to be doing the international pastry classes in. I just peeked myhead in and asked the guy if I could take a picture of his sculptures.

and to answer the question before ... yesI did get samples of the amoretti! I am so excited, I am going to bake a cake today and try one of their extracts.

Amanda, we got back late last night so I still haven't got my pictures organized. Your pictures are great. I'll get mine loaded soon. Guess I'll have to register with shutterbug, too. Randy and I really enjoyed meeting you and Julie.

Beth, that is sooo funny that we were right behind you. Guess one of us should have yelled-out "CC" to see who looked! Maybe Keegan would have asked about it too! LOL Then maybe we all could have been the next discoveries.

I did get to tell Bronwen about "Cake Central" and told her she should come visit sometime to chat with a bunch of fans. Who knows?!?

This competition was so much fun and so relaxed. We were able to chat briefly with the decorators and music celebrities while they worked and afterwards. And get close to the cakes to see all the details. The Nashville News (Channel 2) that night showed some of the competition and said the cakes would be on show for the next week at the Opryland Resort.
