I just saw the post about Collette Peters teaching in Orlando. It starts on my birthday... I just told hubby that I know what I want for my birthday and I can't believe it, but he said I should do it. It's a three day class, and I'm so excited. Have any of you taken her class? How was it? What should I expect? I feel like jumping up and down right now.
Oh my gosh! Congratualtions!!! Please tell us how it went and what you learned!
Congratulations! Good for you! I must admit i'm a bit jealous!

I'm seriously considering driving 4 hrs in the Spring to a one day class with her!
Pens, pads, camera......map.....anything else??? Like maybe a stick to prop under my chin so I don't look like a total idio with my mouth hanging open?
That´s great and what a wonderful birthday that will be. I´ve been at her class in April in NY, the wedding cake 3-day-course, and it was worth every minute. She showed us on the first 2 days the techniques and what to do with them and than we had to decorate a 3-tier cake free-style as we liked it. She gave hints and the little extras input so all 12 cakes looked totally different, but, naturally, all a little bit "Colette Peters" 
.
I´m really looking forward to see your cake 
Ooh, how wonderful, kudos kiddo, have fun!

Congratulations! I've done a couple of Demo classes with her and she is very nice and sharing. Where in Orlando is this class going to be?
Is it at the NOTTER school???
Yes, that where it's going to be. Do you know anything about it?

I was thinking about going up there for the sugar class during my winter break..but I found out he no longer teaches the Geisha doll nor the clown.
I Knew about Notter's school when he was in Gaithersburg..sorry! ( I'm practically a non functioning ameba without my coffee!)
and I thought he was expensive then..now he's over the moon..
But, will try to get up there before he raises his price again..lol
Enjoy yourself! Don't forget to say Hello to the mouse..lol
I'm thinking about it still, I am just curious if you learn any more or less than the wilton class in Illinoins, since the one in Orlando is a day shorter.
I only live an hour away though so it would be cheaper driving back and forth than staying in a hotel.
I might be seeing you there, I just don't know yet.
Notter school moved from Maryland to Orlando. But good luck I am happy for you have a safe trip and like everyone said bring back some good tips.But most of all have fun!

an hour away?? Ha...C'mon CC let's go camp out at Tickled Pink's house..lol
Congrats peacockplace...have fun and don't forget to take notes to share with us.
DH says I can go so I will see you there. We will be getting a hotel up there dont want to make the drive everyday would be cheaper than paying for gas. Dh has to find stuff to do while Im there I dont drive so he has to take me. told him he can go shopping or something while Im there. can wait for it.
Oh you guys I am soooo envious!!! Living here in Canada...I don't think Collette ever comes up here and if she does she usually goes out East to Toronto or something...I live out West!! Bummer!!
mpitrelli, that great! Hope lots of FL CCers can come. I'm just getting a little nervous about my skill level. I don't want to embarrace myself.

Now don't you dare feel like that kiddo! We all are at different levels, from what I hear the people that take her courses are all at different levels too. And besides, from everything I have ever heard about her, she is just the sweetest person, so varying skill levels won't matter one bit. Besides if you were perfect at whatever she is teaching, well you wouldn't be going now would you? You go and have some fun!

Congratulations peacockplace, you go ahead and have fun and enjoy the class while you can. You can't pass this opportunity up. I hope that you can take a tape recorder if she allows you to. Tape recorders are so nice to have, I know that you can bring them to college, for the just in case you miss out on the notes coming from the teacher. Take one with out any way and take it to class and then ask whether or not you can use it. Bring extra batteries and cassettes if you remember cause you are going to need them. Again, have fun and bring back good tips for use to share. 
I am still wondering if this class would be as thorough and cover as much as the Wilton classes.
I'm so undecided, I can only do this once, so I am wondering which class would teach the most... this one in Orlando or Wilton in Illinois?
