MERRY CHRISTMAS CAKE FRIENDS!! I have some very exciting news!!!!!  I am now teaching at the WINE AND CAKE HOBBY SHOP in Norfolk!!!!! I am soooo excited! So I now teach in 3 locations.... Michaels Hilltop, Party Cakes N Things in Kempsville and now Wine and Cakes in Norfolk!!!!  Below is my schedule for next year. Hurry in to get a spot!!!!

Don't forget to stay tuned to my web site, I am always updating with new photos!  http://www.theicingonthecake-ginger.com/

OK......gotta ask........ who out there would like to be my test pilot for shipping CUPCAKES!!!!  Criteria::: You must live far away, preferably out of state, (or have a loved one out of town/state that I can ship to), you must be VERY honest about the cupcakes upon arrival (i.e. the taste, the appearance and the overall experience).  If you are interested please let me know ASAP so that I can enter your name in a drawing (i'm expecting lots of willing participants!!!) This will take place hopefully by Valentines Day..... perfect timing!!!! I will draw a few names, so your chances are great!!!! woo hoo

Just send me an email at gsoave@aol.com if you would like me to enter you into the free cupcake drawing. I will notify the winners via email and I will announce the winners on my blog!
