I'm planning on going to Mid-atlantic this year...although now it's split into two shows. So now I have to decide which one to go to?!?I think I'm just going to enter a sculpted cake the divisional competition though...I don't think I'm...

I'm happily paying $50 per 20 lb bucket.....just as long as I don't have to make it myself!!!!!!!!!!!!! Although I do make my own modeling chocolate, which is so much easier to make.

Michaels has this on sale periodically for $1 per board. I use both the 3/16 and the 1/2 in depending on the cake. Most of the time I use 2 3/16 boards glued together if I use foam core.
