Are you from south Louisiana or the surrounding area and interested in starting a cake club? My friend and I were talking about how neat it would be to get together once in a while with other cakers to share ideas, recipes, stories or whatever, so we started looking for a cake club in our area. We haven't found one but have noticed other people from LA and talked to one "bonnebouche" who is also interested in starting our own club. If you are interested, you can reply to this forum or pm me. We were thinking of meeting in a centrally located place. Once we have an idea of who is interested and where everyone is from, we can start to make plans. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Hey, My name is Judy and I would be interested also. I live in Raceland, LA. I started doing cakes in 1999 as a hobby. I viewed the photos of cakes that all of you have posted. They are very nice. My email is [email protected].
Cheferyn, Labadieville is only two towns away. I'm thinking about possibly opening a cake shop in a couple of years. So far nothing concrete, I'm trying to consider the pros and cons carefully. I would love to see your set up so I could get an idea of equipment and floor plan ideas and meeting board of health regulations. If you think that is possible, please email me. Thanks,

Hey Christie,
This is Erin. Labadieville is about 10 min. outside of Thibodoux. In between Thibodoux and Napoleonville. Down da Bayou, just south of Egypt. icon_smile.gif. Where is Welsh? I've never heard of it. What is your email? Mine is [email protected]. I just wrote Judy in Raceland and we are close by. We really should start a club. I love meeting new people. Keep in touch.

Hi Girls! My email is [email protected]. Welsh is between Lake Charles and Lafayette. I did go to Thibideaux/Houma when we evacuated for Hurricane Rita. Not the best of choices, since the levee broke there and we had to be evacuated by boats and police cars, and stayed at peoples houses we didn't even know, and our cars were flooded in for a week, when at our house, we only had minor damage, but hey, we had the best evacuation story!! icon_lol.gif

BTW, there is already a thread about this in the events catagory. I forget what the title is though, sorry.

I'll throw my hat in the ring so to speak!

I'm in Lafayette. I only make cakes for hobby as I have a full time job that sucks the life out of me (LOL) so it doesn't leave much time to make cakes.

Hi Erin, funny you should mention Labadieville, I am from there and now live in Luling. I was just talking about getting with others to learn more decorating. I am just starting to do this as mainly a hobby but I am addicted. I would really like to join a club to get to know other decorators and share ideas.
