Karen, I tried, and tried, and tried to get on at the Publix bakery doing cakes for months and months and months in 2008-2009. I just gave up. Even took a small book of cake photos into the manager at our Orange City, Florida store. I stopped trying. :(

Looking for a great place to work? Consider Publix! One of trhe most respected Super Market chains in the US and ranked 13 years straight as the Top 100 Places to Work! We are currently looking for cake decoartors in many of our Florida stores. Openings are posted under the classified section of this website (www.cakeswebake.com). I look forward to hearing back from you!

I'll be teaching at the new Hobby Lobby in Orange City when it opens this year. Anyone teach for a HL now? How are they to work with? I previously taught at a JoAnn's.

I'm starting teaching in October, with my very first demo coming up at the Grand Opening of our new Michael's in Lisbon, CT!  I'm excited, but not sure how to schedule the classes.  I hope to get together with my Wilton's Supervisor soon to work that out.

Hello everyone! Boy, was I excited to find this group!!! I've been looking for a group where I could ask questions of other instructors, or complain, whichever the case may be. :)  I'm also really stoked for this weekend because Wilton's coming to Minnesota for training on the new Course 4 curriculum. I'm so excited for this new class!

Hi to all my Fellow Wilton Instructors.  I just posted my two latest displays for my Cake Basics and Flowers and Cake Design.  I get so bored with the same old designs and I wanted to spend a little extra time and make some more colorful displays to try and get people interested in cake decorating.  Please check out my latest designs and let me know if you have any ideas to change up displays to get attention from customers.

When using Wilton Fondant lately has anyone noticed a change in how it starts tearing more when covering a cake, maybe the recipe has been tweaked ? In class we have been having trouble keeping it from tearing per say. It is not to dry, not to much crisco being used. Any ideas? Anyone with similar problem or help?

I think that now the trend is changing from butter icing to whip topping for cake decoration as latter is fat free , low cholesterol and less sugar which is good for health also.

As far as the Cake Pop question, I watched Bakerlla on You-Tube and learned. Easy. Seems the reall trick is to keep them cool until your ready to dip. Good luck!!

Hi all, I taught at JoAnn's in Sanford, Florida from Oct. 2009 thru Feb. 2011. I LOVED teaching! But, it seemed, Ed. Coords came and went (4 total), and it only takes one to want her own people in their and your gone. I still miss it, but am teaching on my own. Very hard tho' getting new students and also, I have no place to teach but my home. And God knows, I don't want to keep it that spotless! LOL. Glad to join your group and can't wait to read everything!
