Winners of the Birthday Blog!

As promised here are the winners of the Birthday Blog prizes! Thank you to everyone who commented on last week’s blog! I do hope that all the winners listed below enjoy their prizes, whatever they may be!

Craftsy Class Winners

Ultimate Sugar Rose Class: Iisha Barnes

“Would love to win your Ultimate Sugar Rose Class.”

Sugar Flowers Out of the Box: Jan Patterson

“I have the Monogram class from Craftsy and love it. I’d like to win the flowers out of the box class. Would love to take an in-person class.”

Classic Sugar Flowers: Erika Loff

“I am pretty new in the cake world but I love anything Nicholas Lodge. My first cake show I went to in Fairfax V.A I did everything to try to meet him. It was like meeting a rock star to me. I even got a picture with him. I would love to win the Craftsy class.”

Custom Lettering and Monograms: Alyssa Wilhite

“I would love to win the Monogram class, because it is the only Chef Lodge class in which I have yet to enroll!! I love Chef Lodge’s teaching style. He really knows his stuff and I always learn a new tip each time I watch a video. Love, love, love Chef Lodge on Craftsy!!”

Romantic Garden Roses: Takelya Weathers

“I have quite a few of Chef Nick’s Craftsy classes but I would be even more ecstatic to have his “Romantic Garden Roses” class to add to my growing collection. One of my favorite sugar flowers has to be a classic rose so this class would be right up my alley and would benefit my tremendously.”

Mastering Modern Sugar Flowers: Stephanie Dover

“I would love to win mastering modern sugar flowers. I love your teaching style and have learned many things that I use on each cake.”

Renshaw Color Collection Pack Winners

Ramona Timonere

“I haven’t tried the Renshaw since I haven’t seen it here in the States but would love to try it. I love Chef Lodges shop and make purchases. I love the quality of his products and know when I purchase from him that I will actually be able to use his products. It’s easy to be fooled and purchase crap on the internet but I always know his products are good. Thanks again Nick!”

Laurel Cohen

“Happy Birthday! Even though I just stumbled upon your blog I have taken a class from Chef Nicholas (Cake Camp) and find him to be a wonderful teacher. I also learned a lot from his books. I would love to win a pack of Renshaw Fondant as I have not yet tried it.”

Kathy Fiffick

“If I won the Renshaw Fondant I would work on making playing card designs for cakes. I love the blogs that feature his tips.”

Bunny Roberts

“While I would truly love to win a class, I already own them all. I can’t say which blog is my favorite because I always enjoy the blog. I’ve never tried The Fondant, but I know Nicholas helped with the formula so it must be good. I will continue to buy supplies from you because they are great quality, and always speedy delivery when they are in stock. I’m looking forward to finding out when there will be a new Craftsy class from you, and hoping one day to attend an in person class at your shop. Thank you for the many things I’ve learned from you.”

Diane Schoonover

“Renshaw fondant I have not had a chance to try. Would love to try it on a birthday cake I have coming up for a wonderful little boy that has had a hard life it is my present to him. As far as my favorite blog post, I don’t think I have one. I love them all. Thank you for keeping it going.”

ISAC Gift Cards

$25: Kathi Vann

“My favorite blog was the “Christmas Pudding” on December 15th. I love all of the blogs, but this one just took me back to being at ISAC for class when Chef Nicholas told us about his Mums Fruitcake and shared her recipe. I love Chef Nicholas and Scott both and I love to hear their stories about England / Scotland and Chef’s family. Since I am 60% Scottish, I LOVE to hear about the traditions of the lands my family originally came from. Scott talked about the pudding being prepared in the castle……I almost felt as if I were there and could smell and hear it cooking in the Copper. Chef and Scott are such a wealth of knowledge and I am grateful that I have had some of their knowledge passed on to me, by being a student of ISAC. Happy Birthday BLOG! Thanks for a great year….and Gretchen, keep up the great work. My love and appreciation to all of you!”

$50: Donna Pease

“I would absolutely love to get the Classic Sugar Flowers tutorial as this is one I haven’t purchased yet. (Yes, Thank You) As far as Renshaw is concerned I was first introduced to Renshaw in Miami at the hands on classes. It felt good, it tasted good and I liked the way it reacted when worked with. Would love to play some more with this medium (insert Thank You here). I would have to say one of my favorite Blog’s was the one that was done about Cake Camp. Not only do I really love the classes Camp Counselor Nick is doing, this is something I have wanted to do for a couple of years. Perhaps next one they do I will be able to participate. I will start saving now. (Um, think one more Thank You goes here).”

$75: Kathryn Diez

“I have been following this blog almost since the beginning. I am still new to cake decorating, but it has taken over my world in the past year and a half and I have dreamt of taking a class with Chef Nicholas Lodge from the moment I learned of him on Craftsy. I have purchased the Classic Sugar Flowers class and have thoroughly enjoyed it! I would love to take Mastering Modern Sugar Flowers next!
One of my favorite blog posts was the one about a day in the life of a student at ISAC. I hope to be able to take a class someday, as I mentioned before. I made the lemon cookie recipe soon after it was posted and it has become one of my friend’s and family’s favorite! I have also enjoyed the flavors from around the world posts. I have never tried Renshaw fondant, but I have a first birthday cake that is bug themed coming up that would be perfect to try all of those colors on. Thank you for this blog! It has definitely been one that whenever I see a new post, I get excited to read it.”
