I just emailed her again. I have never received a response from Julia everytime I have emailed so I wouldnt be surprised if I didnt receive one again. I went ahead and deleted my you tube videos. Maybe next year

That's really bad.

My contact person was Jessica and she was always very nice and responded within a day!

Glad I was in contact with her

C.

boo i'm super surprised that no one from cake central was picked! unless they're supposed to keep it secret? oh well, it was kinda heartbreaking :/

if there are any secret finalists out there, good job and good luck! i hope you make it in new york and make us proud

I didn't get THE call and I didn't get THE email.

neither here too, there has got to be someone from CC that got called. There are so may people on here. They probably cant say anything. I have looked through alot of the videos and I have picked a couple of my faves that I think will make it, I will be curious to see if they did. It will be fun to find out. Good luck to all semi finalists!!!

Congratulations to season two contestants Heather M, Heather G, Megan, Wesley, and Sara. Good luck!

These video clips were uploaded on TLC's website on 9/27/11:

I guess we'll have to wait to see who the other contestants are!

I am really hoping others on CC recognize some of the contestants. Even though the first season bothered me in the way it was created, I am still really excited to see this season because of people posting on CC.

Congratulations to the contestants for making it!

Congrats to the rest that were announced today on TLC (the full list):
