Thanks Doug for pointing out this thread to me!
I have been to ONE Isis meeting in two years. Sundays are impossible for me (between church, tastings and family..) I wish they had meetings in the evenings during the week...Like maybe a monday!
I will continue to read through this thread, but count me in!!!! (I am in Apex)

Here's 2 ideas that I thought I should write because I'll probably be forgetting them before we meet
I would love to learn how to use almond paste/marzapan, but still haven't found a class for that.
I love tasting new cakes flavor, different combinations and different frosting. We could bring mini cupcakes to taste different versions. (IF anyone is willing to give out their secrets lol)

Hi Sugarfreak,
I think everyone wanted to use this first meeting as a meet and greet. I think we should each start keeping a list of things we would like to learn at the future meetings. I am adding these two things to the list I have already started.
Thanks so much!!

Keep those affirmatives coming!
Wow!! Looks like we're gonna have a GREAT turn out for our first meeting!!!
As far as learning goes, I need to learn EVERYTHING!!!! I have never taken a class and am a sponge in need of soaking up some decorating intellegence!!! I'm sitting next to the really smart people (which will be hard to choose from as everyone here is extremely talented). So I guess that will make it easy to choose!!
Can't wait to meet everyone in person. To see some of the work you guys have done, for me it's almost like meeting celebrities!!!
Hey, guys. Just stumbled upon this thread. Given my greatly reduced cake decorating business, don't know if I pass muster or qualify for participation, but I would love to come on the 16th if I can work out my schedule. While cake decorating may not be as much of my life as it was just a few months ago, it's still a passion that I pursue as much as I can!

ok, I'll add you to the "maybe" list for now, and when the plans take firmer shape adjust as necessary. Hoping you'll be able to join us "for sure!"

And who else would like to come?
Hi guys,
I am from Fayetteville and found out about this from Doug(who I already had a chance to meet with last year)
My husband is deployed so if I can find childcare I am so there!!! Put me on the maybe list and I will ask around today. THanks Marci
I cannot believe it!! I will not be able to come on the 16th! I was even up to number 3 on the list !!!! MIL is having surgery, so we must travel to Arkansas that weekend right after my nephew's wedding. Do you think you could put me on the "I want to know EVERYTHING that goes on list"????
Doug, I am sorry you will have to update the list once again. You are doing a fine job as unofficial secretary. Southerncakes, you are doing a fine job as unofficial event planner.
Please let me know what transpires at the meeting, and I will be there in spirit!
A cake baked with love gives a hug in every bite.
Hi guys- please add kittimami to the maybe list as I think she will come with me and check things out- Can't wait hope I can find childcare!! Marci

DoniB will have to bow out... ended up getting an invite to a baby shower up in VA that weekend, so won't be back in time. And of course, I'm bringing the cake...
I'll catch up next time!

I'm navigationally challenged. My chauffeur is on strike and taxi fare would be exorbitant. I will have to pass until one pops up closer to my neighborhood.
I sure hope ya'll share how much fun ya'll had atf!
I just found this thread tonight after taking one of my online courses tests. This sounds like so much fun. I just moved to Greenville from Fort Lauderdale, FL last month so I don't know how far and how long it takes to get anywhere. That GPS system is the best investment I've ever made. Hey, at least I won't get lost!!! LOL!!! Anyway, if it's not way too far I would LOVE to join you. If it is then have fun and I'll be wishing I was there. I am new to cake decorating and I am in college in the pastry chef program. One day I'll be a professional too! I have tons to learn and it would be so great if I could meet some of my fellow CCer's. Let me know.
Thank You,
Courtney
I'm in Jacksonville (just moved here from Brunswick County, NC); I may be able to make it (I have FOUR cakes on the 15th...will I survive?).
If anyone is in the area I can carpool!
(I was offline for almost a month after moving, so this is the first I've seen this thread!)
BTW, there is a Yahoo Group for NC cake decorators...I think it is run by someone on CC.
