Mary,
I liked how you textured a couple of the fondant tiers with royal. Great idea! Do you have to wait until the fondant dries out a little, or can you texture it right away?
Jessica
You can do it right away!

I wonder what Roland was trying to tell Ashley...?
As his assistant on the show I should know this, but I dont...I do know, however, that if someone as experienced and talented as Roland Winbeckler is trying to give you advice, you should take it and not cut him off rudely. Where is the southern hospitality?! And Mary, you are AWESOME! These people didnt see the real you that we did during the competition. I would work alongside you any day!

I would love to cake with you sir any day! See you in four days!
Yeah I really wanted to hear his pearls of wisdom.
Is there another website for his work? the one I found is a bit dated and hard to navigate. It only shows his people sculptured cakes.
No matter which URL you use, it brings you to the same site. I don't think he has a gallery, per se, of his work.
Duff used the same structure for his German Shepherd cake that they created several years ago.
And they carry masonite boards in almost every shape and size you could want.

I only got to see a few minutes of the show but I have it taped and will watch it as soon as I can but I was excited to see Mary and Roland. Mary, I haven't really met you in person but I've been at OSSAS as an entrant the last 2 years and your work is amazing and the amount you do to help out- AWESOME! I did get to meet Roland earlier this year in Austin and you couldn't ask for a nicer man.
I hate editing cake shows for drama. I watch the shows to see cakes and learn - not to have fabricated drama thrown at me. If I wanted fake drama, I would watch soap operas.
The first couple of times they had James Rosselle on FN Challenge, he was portrayed as rather snotty. I met him at OSSAS last year and took a class with him after OSSAS this year and FN's portrayal of him is so off. He is extremely talented and a really nice kid. Yep, I'm 'almost' old enough to be his mom so I call him kid.
My brother and I seriously considered applying to The Amazing Race but my brother was so concerned that they would portray him as a grump old man ( at 40) that he chickened out. I thought it would be great fun and a chance for us to really bond.
Yes, I mean when they edit it to hear Mary shout "fridge"....and edit out the please part....thats really stupid. Makes me wonder what they edit out of Cake Boss

I work in a kitchen. Just because we do not say please, does not make me a bad person. I was holding a cake that was 14" wide and 8" tall and was not light. If the one word that comes out of my mouth is Fridge.....Gosh by golly I am a bitch. Let us go another round.

James is a doll! Loves him!
Since when is being efficient being a B*...? LOL I give one word instructions to my kids all the time. They know what I mean and there is no point to wasting words when it can get done faster then explaining how to do it.
Hey, I've seen far worse in chef's kitchens. When some people hit the big time, their egos take over, they become Linda Blair in the Exorcist at any little thing. Don't talk while they're doing a demo, don't let anyone think you're knowledgeable while in their class, and by all means, don't ask them questions that don't pertain to the subject at hand, because they'll go out of their way to humiliate you.
Mary has been one of the building blocks of CC for a very long time, and one of the most helpful members here. I've never heard of her refusing to help someone or share a technique with them. We old-timers know her well and love her for all she's done for us.
Theresa
I would just like to say thank you to all those "old-timers" (as Theresa puts it) that take the time to share their endless wealth of knowledge and experience with us "newbies". I am so grateful to be able to learn from the best as I try my hand at this wonderful art.
Yes, I mean when they edit it to hear Mary shout "fridge"....and edit out the please part....thats really stupid. Makes me wonder what they edit out of
PS I actually do say "Please" in that segment.
confused, I thought madgeowens was taking up for you IMHO

When you read what was written it says they edited the word
please out. If you watch the footage I do say please.

Cake Boss, from what I can tell, is the most highly exaggerated and playacted "reality show" I've seen yet regarding cakes...it gives me a headache to watch it! 
Why oh Why
can't I remember that Ultimate Cake of is on Monday Night!!!! URRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!! Well me and my feeble mind will hope for a re run or mayb I will just stay up tonight and watch it at 1 or 2 in the morning.
Was last night the last episode? I noticed that Cake Boss returns next week in the 10PM time slot.
I think, if anything, Mary came across as a professional. I don't recall seeing her "talk smack," or saying she was going to crush the other contestants, etc.
During the judges' critique she listened and nodded her head, and if I remember correctly, said, "Thank you," after receiving criticism. Often, contestants on these competition shows offer rebuttals or excuses for how or why they did what they did. However, when you design a cake or create a recipe in a professional setting you rarely have the opportunity to explain your creation to the audience. What they experience is what they experience.
I was quite impressed by this show of humility and professionalism on Mary's part. Frequently I notice that those people I know who are most accomplished at their professions are the ones who most easily accept criticism.
moydear77!!!!!!!!!
what the heck???? All this time I've been calling you Maryann...have you just been bein' nice and lettin' me slide or is it Maryann and you've shortened it to Mary or what....?
I don't know that I would've buckled in front of Mr. Winbeckler or would've tried my darndest to outdo him (out of the utmost respect of course! I truly look up to him....30+ years of being in awe of his work...I've got nothing but respect for him and his work!).
Every one of the competitors gets a major high five from me...just going through it has got to be gruelling! (how do ya do a high 5?) ^5^ ?

I always knew her as MaryAnn, too.
Theresa

Thank you for the kind words everyone! It means a great deal and I am so proud of season one! If you get a chance, go to the TLC blog and tell them how wonderful the show is!
I am VERY proud to know Mary!! I think she did an AWESOME job!! To have someone like Roland have you sit out because you ARE a threat is a major compliment! I've met Roland & taken a class with him & he's a sweetheart. I'm looking forward to seeing you in more challenges! YOU GO MARY!!!!
