Hi,

I want to buy a subscription to a cake decorating magazine for my sister in law, but I am not sure if I should buy American Cake Decorating or Mailbox News. She is an excellent cake decorator, who can do everything..she was offered teaching a wilton class.
I do not know the difference between the two. can anyone please help.

Thank you so much!

I like mailbox better. It is just a magazine with other decorators' photos. Each issue has certain themes. I look back at my issues all the time for ideas!

Either one! I've recently ordered both for myself and am eagerly waiting for my first to arrive!

I believe the mailbox news would be great for ideas from all kinds of different decorators and she can even submit her own photos of cakes to it also.

The American Cake Decorating one seems to have a lot more step by step articles great for ideas too!

I'm sure she'll love either one!

Either one is great. Mailbox News is an idea magazine when decorators send in pics of the cakes and they divide each issue up by themes. They are some how-to's and recipes. ACD does not have as many samples but has more in depth how-to's to some more advanced type decorating--a lot more advertising in it as well. I like them both.
