I was reading today's Seattle PI and there is an article on the front page of the Arts & Entertainment section about a new cake decorating studio/kitchen than can be rented out to decorators that need a commercial kitchen to create in (cookies, cakes, cupcakes) plus they are offering classes to help brides (or friends) create their own wedding cake. They are also offering gumpaste and sugar blowing classes. I am going to contact her to find out what the rates are. Has anyone used them yet? The studio is called "Cake" and they are in Seattle on Elliott Ave. Here is the link to the newspaper article.

So I called and the owner Tobey is super nice and the kitchen rental rate is $10/hour. Seems reasonable to me, especially if it keeps me out of trouble with the State of WA

You are so lucky. I'm having the most difficult time trying to find a commercial kitchen to rent here in Birmingham, Alabama!
