I was looking at getting a subscription to Mailbox News. When I went to order it I saw they had an American cake decorating magazine too. Which one do you prefer between the 2? Thanks in advance.

I get them both and I don't prefer one over the other--they are different. MBN is a big idea book for all sorts of cakes. It has a couple of how-to's and some non-cake recipes, but I would say 95% of it is just pics of cakes from anyone who would like to send in pics to share.

ACD is more of a "professional" cake magazine (and that is not even the right word). It shows more advanced type cakes and how-to's. No where the amount of cake pics as MBN.

Like I said, I get them both because they each serve their purpose. I believe their website has a little saving's deal if you order one year of each magazine together.

There are also two British Magazines "Cake Craft and Decoration" and "Cakes and Sugarcraft" that residents of the US and Canada can get through http://www.expressmag.com. They are more expensive than American Cake Decorating ( $98.00 for 12 issues and $48.00 for 4 issues respectively per year), but I think they are worth it. I've just subscribed after a couple of years of asking friends to bring me back copies whenever they went to England.

I get MBN and ACD both also, once and awhile I go to them for ideas, but mostly they are just to pour through before bed time and enjoy.

American cake decorating and Mailbox news are from the same people. You can get them both at a reduced rate. Love them both!

I love both ACD and MBN.

I also love Wedding Cakes and Cakes and Sugarcraft. I would love to subscribe to those, just never remembered to do it when I had the money! LOL I pick them up at my local Barnes and Noble.

I like them both too. Have never figured out how to submit a photo to MBN though and would like to. Currently I'm not subscribed to either magazine due to financial constraints, but I miss flipping through them! icon_razz.gif
