I'm in Garland (next door to Sachse and Rowlett and Richardson). If you like talking about cake related stuff, check out our cake club website: www.sugarwonders.com
We meet once a month (in McKinney) to talk cakes. If you live close by, why not stop by???

WOW!!!!

I'm in Dallas, but really close to Balch Springs. Great thread!!! Good to see all of the Texas bakers.

WOW there are alot of bakers in Texas lol. I am from a lil ole town called Hardin. If you blink you will miss it. It is located between cleveland and beaumont.

Hi All,


I'm here in Houston....Southwest/Alief area.....To all of you that are here trying to get through this water and bad weather that we got suddenly (be x-tra careful)


MissJ

North Austin (Actually Cedar Park/Leander) here.

MissJ--I swam today in the med center--what a mess. I was there for an appt and wasn't going to get my mammo and bloodwork done till later, so dh could get to work(he was watching the kiddos at home), but there was NO way out, and people were cancelling appts so I got everything done while waiting. Usually my dr has a 2hour wait--today--10mins,but I still took 5 hours--most waiting to get home.

MissJ , have you ever been to MakeaCake in Bellaire?

Hi North Texas DFW Bakers!! I am about 30 miles north of Mckinney/60 miles north of Dallas. I have a licensed custom cake bakery about 15 miles from my house. I used to love cake decorating...until I did it as a business then it became a hassle and I experienced a lot of burn out. Now I have a great customer base who I do cakes for and only bake for them and people they refer to me...things have gotten so much better for me now!!

Anyway, I love talking cake with other decorators! I do have several wholesale accounts and I can get products much cheaper than shopping at cake carousel and other stores around the area (sometimes about 1/3 of the price!). If any1 is interested in ordering with me I'd love that! I don't buy as much in bulk and every place has a minimum order so it would be great to have ppl to share with so I didn't have to meet minimums on my own. I also don't mind sharing my shop if any1 is interested in driving that far!

Hey dawnrenae and ladyhitman18,
Do I know ya'll? Just kidding. I work in Dayton and live in Crosby. Small World.

I'm in Richardson, near several of you.

MissJ - I grew up in Southwest Houston, and went to Alief schools.

South of Houston here. Richmond/Rosenberg area.

Marina! OMG!!! The monthly meetings are literally right around the corner from my house! I'll have to check that out!

HI, I am in San Antonio, Tx

Richland Hills here. Ft Worth mid cities...north east mall area. I have a student trying to put together a cake club in this area if anyone is interested pm me and I can give you contact information. It probably won't get started up until Jan but he needs interested parties. Lots of interest from Wilton and ICES.

I am also born and raised right here in good old Ft Worth. I live 30 minutes from my childhood home.

Love to talk cake!

Mel,

I live in Grapevine, Texas between Dallas and Fort Worth.

I live in Allen. I have just started taking the Wilton classes and can't wait to decorate more cakes! I am having a great time!

FYI-I have a KitchenAid Stand Mixer for sale. Everything is in great condition except the plastic black cover on the front where the extra attachments are placed has broken off. You can still place attachments, only the screw is exposed rather than being covered with the cap. The color is gray and price is $130. If you know anyone who may be interested, please let me know. I can also send pics and more info if you need. I would rather not ship, but will consider if necessary.

lol sisspence, you just might. my and DH used to go to crosby ever other weekend so heck we may have seen ya around lol.

There sure are a lot of December birthdays---must be the nice springs here in Texas with all the bluebonnets , spring fever !!LOL!

MCOOK heres a funny story. Our extended family always camped alot from the time my sister was small, she is a few years older than I am and this continued till my fathers death when I was 19. One time when I was about 10 or 12 I remember my grandmother saying I was a creekbank baby... I did not understand until years later what she meant.

So you are correct...spring flowers do cause spring fever. Happy to have another DEC TEXAN on the board!!!!!

Hope this isn't to risque for the general public if so please accept my appoligies!!!

Mel,

I'm in Houston --- Braes Heights area (between Med Center and Bellaire)

I love Make-a-Cake because they are so nice. Amazing Cakes around the corners has a lot as well. And I started drooling when I went to the Sugar Land store. . . Cake Craft? Can't remember the name.

My name is Lorena, (from a sign near Lorena,TX my mom saw during a trip she took.) I was born and raised in Dallas, am currently living in Laredo, TX, and hoping to move to San Antonio, or even back to Dallas!!

I'm very new to cake decorating, and am currently taking the Fondant and Gumpaste class at Michael's. But I love it!!

Lori D.

I live in Pflugerville and work in Austin. Howdee Feller Texans!!

LGL,

I'm also in Houston...Cake Craft Shoppe is the name of the supplier in Sugarland (not always very pleasant so I always take the 45 min drive to amazin cakes rather than going 20 mins to the unfriendly), I've never had the pleasure to visit Makeacake but I here it's nice, and I absolutely LUUUUUUUUv amazin cakes (very very very small but the young girls that work there always know they're stuff and if they don't know they always find someone who does...even if that means them callin me on my cell phone after they've closed at 5pm (now that's customer satisfaction!!!!!!) .
