First Cheap Thrill - post cancer!!! Save on Cake class....

I am finally back to almost normal, whatever that is after you have had Stage 4 cancer!!! And this means I will be posting both cake and couponing/ savings blogs! So the tip for today is if you know anyone who wants to take Wilton Decorating Basics class have them go register for class NOW. For the first time ever, Wilton is offering Basics class at Michaels for $10.00 tuition. You can sign up now and join me for class in May or June- just go over to Michaels on Harbison Blvd.  and register.

The photo below is of a students cake ( my wonderful talented Niece Amber) - done in Course 1, Decorating Basics.

Hi Everyone-

I finally feel well enough to get the blog up and running again. The cancer has given me a break and I am getting better every day. So I will be blogging as often as I can. As of today, I have posted the times for May/ June classes. I will be posting photos, recipes, and more new information as the months go along. You are welcome to send me your ideas or questions so that I can include them in the blog!... Tara

Hi Everyone-

Another Cheap Thrill!!

Hi Everyone-

For those of you who bake a bunch, this is the week to stock up on baking supplies. Publix has just put many of the cake supplies we love on sale. For those of you that take Wilton Classes:Domino's 1lb sugar is on sale for .99 cents a box, this is a fair deal but, it becomes a great deal when you use the newspaper coupon for .50 cents off two boxes and Publix doubles your coupon!!!

Happy shopping-

Tara

Cheap Thrill of the Day!

Hi Everyone-

Holidays are the time to stock up on your baking and cake decorating supplies. This week Walgreen's is having a special on Crisco Shortening sticks ( the ones we use in Cake Decorating Class). If you use the " in Ad " coupon you can get two packages of shortening sticks for $5.00. You can save even more if you have taken my coupon class and have the Crisco coupon for $1.00 off 2 packages - this makes your Crisco sticks $2.00 a pack!!

Happy Shopping!

I am so proud of all of my students but, this year I am particularly proud of the students who took a leap of faith and entered the South Carolina State Fair. I have attached some photos here  unfortunately, some of my photos did not come out, so only some of the wonderful fair cakes are pictured. I promise if  you bring your cake in for display at Michaels I will take a better photo of it and post it here for everyone to see.  I would like to congratulate all of you on a job well done! Featured in these photos are cakes by Meloney , Julie, Becky, Carla, Karen, Sharminna, and Christy.
