Have you tried going to your local bakeries? I wish you luck in this, as I will be doing the samething soon.

Noone in my area works with fondant so I'm hoping someone in the city won't mind helping someone that would not be selling in their area! I would be willing to pay!

Hi! I'm from the Pittsburgh area, too....I'm 45 miles northeast, so I'm in the complete opposite direction. I wish I could help you with the fondant but that's an area that I need some work in myself! For some reason, fondant really hasn't caught on in my neck of the woods so I don't have a lot of opportunity to practice it. I can make a nice fondant bow and some simple flowers but that's about it! I think it's one of those things that you just need to practice...I'm completely self-taught (Toba Garrett is my hero! I've learned pretty much everything from her books) so for me it's a matter of forcing myself to spend a few weekends working with it. I keep hoping for some snow days where I can't make my commute into Pittsburgh so that I have an entire day trapped in the house to do this kind of stuff. It's suppose to snow tonight so maybe tomorrow will be a good day to play! Good luck! I hope that someone can help you.

Thank you so much, I was very lucky to run across a fellow cc'er (newtodecorating) that is located fairly close to me and has been willing to work with me and teach me. I have also learned so much from this website!!
