Sorry can't help but will be glad to give you a BUMP. Good luck!
Although I've never been to his school in GA, I have taken many classes from him. He is extremely good. Supplies all the tools necessary to be successful. Always helping students and also normally has an assistant helping too. I was always successful in his classes no matter what I took.
I have taken some classes from him at his studio and am going back next month. He is totally amazing. I am fairly new to cake decorating and am a visual learner. He is meticulous - very well-organized and very focused. He demonstrates each technique as many times as necessary and is there to help each person as needed. His classes are small so that he is able to keep students motivated and progressing regardless of their expertise (or lack of in my case). I cannot wait to go back 
. And, he has lots of goodies for sale in his retail store.........

I'm going to take the fondant class end of march/beg of april. I'm ok on fondant, but I really want to master it.
And thanks for the comments on the gumpaste flowers. That part I really really enjoy. my basic decorating is only so-so though.
oh, and the class is $375 for three days 9:30 - 5:30.
I suspect he isn't teaching the whole class himself, as the website mentions he is in dallas on Apr 1. I will be a bit annoyed if he isn't involved at all.
they describe the class as follows :
Techniques covered will include: covering a cake dummy with rolled fondant, crimping, embossing, quilting, embroidery, brush embroidery, appliqué work, lace work, painting on a cake, using various molds in creating quick cake decorations, ribbon insertion, drapes and bows, ribbons, ropes and tasselsjust to name a few!
