BIG bump to let people know this

wow, I hope I can go to the blown and pulled sugar one!

want to go and DH said NO, we don't have the $$$. Darn him! I know he's right but I really want to learn this!

Nick Lodge Gumpaste Class is FULL but there is room in other classes and we would like everyone to come!

So I am giving it a bump to inform everyone. Mark your calendas.

BKeith taught 3 sugar classes at the FL ICES Mini Classes. I took all 3 and you can see the results in my photos. I'd taken classes at Wilton about a year ago and I enjoyed the refresher and I also learned plenty of new stuff.

Keith is a ton of fun and his classes are so reasonable in price--if you think you have any interest in this area, go for it. You'll learn a lot and have fun, too.

there is also a Mid Atlantic Cake show coming up from ICES on March 10-11. Not quite as long as this day of sharing, but Keith, Nick Lodge, Colette Peters and many others will be there as well. It has the same general set up as the OK Show that's always on the food network, with the Wedding Cake Comp, plus they have lots of other divisions, and they're having demos for kids this year, too. It was great last year!
