Janet M. Hall said… Tamara,
I would love to meet with you for lunch sometime soon. As for the September 25 event, it is the weekend my family and I will be out of town for a family reunion so I would be unable to attend. It is a shame; I would have enjoyed it.
As for my decorating instruction, I am self taught as well and continually learning more just like you. When we get together we can talk over what we enjoy best.
Talk to you soon.
Janet

- Hi Tamara, i got it on-line. Go to youtube and type in cake pop roller. her video should come up. They all don't come out perfect, but are the same size, so any that need further rolling is ok with me. Saves time!
