Who lives in Ontario Canada and uses Satin Ice???? - Page 2

I buy it from INto the oven,

I live by Windsor though..and can order to the States and pick up there....I am sure they deliever to us Canadians too...but more $$. But, I find they have great sales every month too.

HI Jodi,
Sorry didn't notice it was you who wrote this...let me know..I can order you some if you like,....

Hi Nicole

Guess we are neighbours, my son lives in LaSalle. Where is into the oven located? I have family in St. Thomas and London, so I can get them to pick up whatever I need. Windsor sucks for cake supplies. Cakes etc. has some but I find them a bit pricely.

Can I get in on this too? I live in the GTA and the Goldas in Mississauga is close to my parents house. I've heard its very expensive. Is that so?

Martha ...I remember Cakery Decor -too bad it's gone I could walk from my house in about 10 mins.!!

That's too funny...I just printed the Cakery Decor page from the online yellowpages and was going to call them so see if they were open in the evenings!!! Guess not!!!

Hey Nicole and phoufer..I live close to you guys..in tecumseh. Its so cool to find people close to home. Do you guys own businesses or have cake businesses out of the home?
Your both right, Windsor is terrible for cake supplys. I often go stateside to get them. Cakes etc..is pricey but they are helpful and never hesitate to answer questions.
Are you guys self taught, take classes?

Suzanne

Hi Suzanne

I just do it from home. I took the Wilton classes but really learned more from CC members and playing around myself. We should get together and go cake supply shopping! How about you? In business?

I live in Maidstone just past Russell Woods. Nice to see more local people on here.
I wish I had more people to bake cakes for. My family doesn't need them and I work in a one person office. Oh well. I still love to do it though.

I'm self taught for the most part. I did take one class at St Clair college many years ago to see if i had missed anything. I did learn a few things that made my decorating better, so it wasn't a total waste. But the bulk of my learning is from sites like this and practise. I've been making cakes etc.. for around 10+yrs, mostly for friends and family. I have been seriously considering selling my stuff out of the home and am starting to get costs figured out etc..It's alot of work. I never really intended on selling my cakes but soooo many people ask me if i will do their cakes etc..that i feel maybe i should take the jump. I called the township and health unit and am getting mixed messages if it is legal to do so. One inspector says go ahead we won't come into your home, the other says it's not allowed. I am also an RN but am not practising at the moment. Not sure i want to go back to it. I love doing cakes and can totally see myself doing this for a living. I've thought of applying to a cake shop or something but there isn't alot around here and i really like the idea of making my own hours.
This website is great for learning and ideas. I'm so adddicted to it. It's funny to find people so close to home on here. I thought i was the only one around that made cakes and cookies. I've yet to find anyone i know that does this around me..so it's really cool to have met you. I wish there was some sort of cake club around to talk cakes and share our work.

I look forward to talking to you some more.

I'll pm my email address so that we can communicate easier.
Take care. Gotta go my DS is home from school

Suzanne

Nice to meet you. This is sooooo cool to find people close to home that make cakes too.

ETA... years ago before i married I lived out in lakeshore(Flanders subdivision) and now that i'm married i live in tecumseh.

I did that not long ago. The poor woman who has the number gets about a call a month. She says she's had that number for about 5 years.

It's not cheap, but it's cheaper than having things shipped. They have a great selection of pans, cookie cutters, decorating supplies, etc.

Martha-I know how the lady feels,I have lived in the same house for 5 years and I guess my phone number use to be Ambassador travel. I was so sick of it the first week/years. I still get them and geez I say hello or my answering machine says our names and people still want a flight..lol
The worst is in the winter when everyone wants to go south. I find it weird like with Cakery Decor that it's still online.

BTW it look like u,Eileen and I joined CC roughly around the same time(give or take)..lol

Keep in touch
Nancy

Those calls must be so frustrating. I didn't even know Ambassador was gone - shows you how much I know (and I used to be in that business). That's great that we are all in the area - we can let each other know about suppliers etc.

Hello All! Not to hijack the thread, but I just wanted to chime in as a fellow Ontarian! I very rarely use fondant, no one in my area likes it! I have bought fondant from McCall's in T.O. and I guess it tastes ok...chocolate too! I've never tried Satin Ice, but I'm thinking I should!
