Hhmmm...I figure if someone has to sabotage something that I do, then they must think that I can do something better than they can. What a compliment. It would suck if it happened, obviously, so I will be on the look out just in case. Nevertheless, if I fail at something in the class for whatever reason - is really going to affect whether I get customers or not? Or is the certificate going to get me more biz? Isn't it just for me to learn and try to get better at what I do? Or am I missing something?
I will be attending Wilton in chicago for the first time in Late July. In July i'm taking the Cake Sculpting class and in October I'm taking two Colette Peters classes!! Can't wait!
This is what I read on the Wilton website and it is the blurb to which I referred:
Wilton reserves the right to expel any student for disrupting classes or impeding other students' work, without any obligation to refund tuition or fees. If an instructor determines that a student is unable to function properly or benefit from a class, it may be recommended that the student be dropped, in which case a partial tuition settlement may be made at the school's discretion.
Wilton reserves the right to cancel any class. Students are graded on a pass/fail basis. Students will receive a Wilton Certificate upon completion of each class of 9 hours or longer. Grants and scholarships are not available.
For some reason this thread isn't letting me edit -- anyway here's the link to the quote: http://www.wilton.com/classes/wiltonschool/general_info.cfm
I went through the same ordeal and decided to go to ICE and take classes with Toba Garrett. Personally I decided I wanted to learn different styles of decorating from different people to become more well rounded. If you took all the Witlon classes like I did I would try to branch out and take a class from Toba, Collette, Nick Lodge, etc wherever they are teaching that is close to you and in your price range. Good luck. I am meeting Toba on Sunday for the first time and will let you know how it goes.
For my 2 cents worth, I have taken a couple of minor classes at the Wilton School (I live about 45 minutes away), and plan on taking the next weekend Masters class. I have to agree, Sandy (the instructor) is wonderful! She takes the time to make sure everyone understands, answers any questions, and offers a lot of help.
I would say the classes are well worth the $$.
I went to the Mid Atlantic Cake Show too and watched Nicholas Lodge's demo. I loved his demo so much I decided to go take his ultimate gumpaste flower class in Atlanta! I can't wait! It is the beginning of June and is 5 days long!

Any hotel recommendations? Or logistics in that sense? It looks like I will take the Master Course at the end of July and add on the intro to sugar artistry and the intro to gumpaste. Maybe next year I can do CP and NL classes.
Am I supposed to bring things? Will they let me know? And how does one bring home all of the cakes?
When I was pricing out the Master's Class I had looked at the Extended Stay America. It was reasonably priced IMO and not too far from the school. I never ended up going because it was going to be very expensive for me (approx $3K).

saberger,
Sure! I can't wait - I am going to sign up this weekend before it fills up!

Hi all...I'm absolutely sure that the prices are in Canadian dollars...its a Canadian business. Normally us canucks don't think in US-dollars...its not our currency 
. If a Canadian site does have decide to post prices in US funds as well, then it will have a "USD" next to it, or state that very clearly.
Hope that clears that up.
