Is this a one time deal, or are they(network) doing more then one?? And if they do more then one, will they announce it on CakeCentral.com every time they are making a new show??

Thanks!

They are casting for the pilot episode right now and if that is well received it will go to series. I am sure casting at the series level is an ongoing process.

Thanks for the reply! Hopefully they do great! I'm by no means prepared for something like that, but would like the chance later on.

I havent heard anything and am not really expecting to...and as it turns out, the timing will probably not work for me, because we'll need to be doing the grand opening for my new cake studio right about the same week as the tv thing. So I'm pretty much having to take myself out of the running either way.

Hope to see some of you there, though! Cue music: "Go Edna, go Edna, go Edna..."

WHAT week? Do we know a date? If it can be shared, please do, so others can check calendars and see if it's workable.

He told me sometime between the end of May and sometime in July.

I don't think that there is a "set" week.

Thanks!!!

I hope they bypass the week of 6-6-09. I've got 2 weddings/caterings booked and I've turned down at least 20 brides. It seems to be THE wedding date this year (another version of "6-7-08" I guess).

Man... I guess this isn't happening at the right time... if ya catch my drift... I mean, I didn't think I was near as awesome as most of you, but I thought they'd at least let me send an audition tape... I should get some chocolate cake and go cry for a while...

Since I wasn't contacted, I'm gonna let DH be the director and take charge of the filming... icon_biggrin.gificon_wink.gif (knowing him, it would be a film on suped up cars and college ball icon_rolleyes.gif

Oh, wait...you were talking to the others who were contacted...my bad icon_redface.gif

LMAO - you are too funny!!

I told my husband that he has to be in the video too - and he said ok, "I'll say, Hi, I'm Janel's husband Shaun, you many know me from such shows as America's Most Wanted or Cops" - I thought I was going to pee my pants!!

And of course my daughter the ham is just standing there looking at the camera and not talking at all - she is driving me crazy! I was hoping that she could contribute some comic relief - oh well...I guess its just up to me to try to be funny!

Well I entered too and I have about as much chance as a snowball making it in he** but I figured I should just go for it. I wouldnt mind losing my rear to all of these talented ladies on CC.

FOR THOSE THAT HAVE NOT HEARD BACK - I just talked to the casting agent again and he said that he was sorry some have not gotten a response, however, he got slammed with over 200 emails and is trying to work through them all.

Don't give up hope - he is not done yet!!

Good luck to everyone!!

Oh good, I was starting to get a complex there for a second thinking I'd missed the deadline! I just turned mine in a couple days ago... Who knows, probably won't make it, but that's okay. I just made an awesome dragon cake for my DD's birthday on Sunday! Putting up pictures soon... icon_biggrin.gif

I would love to hear updates about who's heard back and what they require. Not only did I send a basic email just inquiring about the competition, but I further sent one with photos and links - AND signed up with the realitywanted.com website ( http://www.realitywanted.com/brandibakes ) and haven't gotten a response to either message.

Is this a one-man operation that he's too swamped to respond? I hope to hear back - doing something like this has been my goal for the last several years. Then I could die happy! LOL!

Good luck to everyone else. icon_smile.gif

Yes this is primarily a single person who is your first contact, the casting agency may be comprised of multiple people however they have multiple projects as well. So for all practical purposes, the initial casting phase is a one-man show.

I need to lose some weight for that video because the camera makes you look 10 lbs. bigger !!! I don't need that type of additional weight on my shoulders! I'm already a stressed boricua!!! icon_surprised.gificon_cry.gificon_eek.gificon_biggrin.gif
