Congratulations! That is so exciting!

I think you should get a tshirt made with your avatar (pic with Duff). That would be so cool to walk in wearing a shirt with the pic and giving them a cake, lol...that would be great for the show. Make sure he will be available when you go pick it up.

I'm probably going to check my email 50 times before the end of the day - I know they have a million emials to read each day so I'm sure it will be awhile before they get back to me. Now I'm all crazy wondering how long I should wait for a response!

OMG, OMG I am SO excited for you! Can hardly wait to see what they come up with for you. I'm with you, even a cupcake from Duff would do it for me. My birthday is in April too, can I go with you when you pick up your cake? icon_rolleyes.gif

Sure Shirley you can come!!! I'll add you to the list - they would be running for the hills if they saw all the people that want to come with me!! LOL

Ok -so now the story is getting a little better - my boyfriend who's bday is 5 days after mine said he was planning all along to get me a Duff cake for my bday but now he said instead if I want something bigger to go ahead and get it and he'll just pick up the difference!! So now he wants to have a party for the both of us and do it around the cake!! whoo hooo!!!! So now I really don't know what to do as far as design.....I want to incorporate both of us in it now.....back to the drawing board! Ahhhh - this is all too much!! I don't know if I can plan that far ahead!! LOL

I am one lucky girl!

I would ask them to make a cake to look like Duff's head! That has GOT to make it on the show. I mean, who is the crazy lady who wants to eat Duff's head?????

I'm so excited for you. Definitely take a cake with you when you go - hey maybe you make the Duff cake head and deliver it to him!!!!! lol

I'm just sitting here laughing because you DO remember that Mary Alice and a few of the other gals that work there pop on here from time to time! icon_cool.gificon_cool.gificon_cool.gif

I SO think it'd be cute to see what they'd do knowing the cake is for another cake decorator knowing how picky we all are over our cakes it'd HAVE to be PERFECTLY AWESOME... And the fact about how we all get the "FINALLY, someone else's cake besides my own!" reality of cakes when it comes to our own birthdays.. Keep us all posted!!!

As for the BF... let him buy his own cake!!! icon_evil.gificon_twisted.gificon_razz.gificon_biggrin.gif

That would be funny if the girls from CCC read this....

and as far as the BF goes with the cake - he's pretty much told me to do my own thing b/c it IS my cake!! I was the one who said I would share!! (what was I thinking!) But the more I think about it the more I think he would rather me take this one for my own and have ME make him one of his own!!! I'm willing to share my cake but shhhhh- don't tell anyone, I really don't want to at all! icon_lol.gifusaribbon.gificon_evil.gif I'll give him a slice! icon_lol.gif

I think you should think about it not as a decorator but just as a birthday girl. What have you always wanted, what have you always thought would be a special cake for you. We make cakes for others and never get the opportunity to get a special cake made for us.

(but yes you should do a cake for Duff, I think he would get a kick out of it!)

Well yea, I'm torn between the whole "I'm a cake deorator" idea and something extremely girly, I love the cakes he does with the crystals hanging from the wires - something elegant!

So I still haven't heard a reply back from them so I still have time to decide - this is a hard decision for me - I'm sure this will be the one and only Duff cake for me so I want it to be just right!

I was wondering the same thing. When I first read the post I thought it was April of 2009. Then I realized it was April 2008.

Wow, great that she got the winning bid but who would in their right mind pay:

$500 dollars for a cake for 10 = $50.00 a serving?
$500....................................= $33.33 a serving?

Even if it is a Duff cake!

Ouch!

But, if people can aford to pay his prices, better for us cake decorators/designers

Because that trains our customers to realize that it is Edible Art.

It takes time, creativity and some knowledge in structural engineering. lol

I'm no Duff, but now I don't feel so bad when I tell people my pricing. lol

i'M HERE I'M HERE!!! LOL No - the day has not happened YET!! But I am counting down! I pick it up at the shop on April 18th!!!! So the flavors I went with are Almond Ameretto Creme and the other tier will be Chocolate Cherry!! I can't wait and my whole family keeps asking me how much longer too!! LOL - these past 6 months have flown by but the next few weeks I'm sure will seem like forever!

As for the design....well, I really didn't pick one. I told them some colors that I like and I told them that I had liked the shape of the cake on their website called 'Mary Alice' and I told them that I wanted the crystals and that it should be super girly and sparkly BUT NOT TACKY!! lol - they even wrote that on the invoice icon_biggrin.gif

So not too much longer guys! I think what I am most looking forward to is how the cakes taste - that is really what I want to experience.

I wish I could send a piece to all of you but there definitely will be lots of pictures taken! I'm even taking the kids out of school early that day so they can go with me - they would kill me if I didn't let them go!!! I'll probably have a group of 10 with me to pick up a cake for 30!! LOL

Thanks guys for the post - I promise promise promise I will post pics and a report back the day it happens!!!
