And the Winner is...

I know you are all just on pins and needles waiting to hear who won the FREE FOUR-HOUR PRIVATE CLASS WITH CHEF NICHOLAS!!! Without further ado, the winner (and friend to share the class with) is: 

 Ginia and Margery McMillan

With nearly 100 entries, we were overwhelmed by ALL of the incredible responses that you all sent in. It was a very difficult decision in the end, but Chef Nicholas chose Ginia as the winner. Ginia wanted to win the class on behalf of her best friend and mother-in-law, Margery! Ginia spoke about how wonderful and supportive Margery has been to both Ginia and her husband, especially in some extremely difficult times. In addition, Ginia shared that Margery is very selfless, never asking for anything for herself. In fact, in the 20 years that Ginia and Margery have known each other, Ginia said that the only thing Margery asks for is to attend Chef Nicholas' two yearly Open House events. 

Congratulations Ginia and Margery. Chef Nicholas, and the entire ISAC Family, hope that you both thoroughly enjoy your upcoming private class!

To everyone else who sent in entries: we were truly overwhelmed by how many people responded to win Chef Nicholas' class. Every entry was read and carefully considered; some of you shared just how much a class with Chef Nicholas has meant to you. In fact, many people shared that taking a class with Chef Nicholas, learning new skills, and making new cake decorating friends, has impacted your lives for the positive in some dark and trying times. The entire ISAC family was humbled realizing that we have helped and encouraged so many people in more ways than just learning how to make beautiful sugar art. More so than ever, we wanted to thank each and every one of you: our students, clients, friends, and fans. Thank you for letting us be a part of your life and being a part of our lives- not just as people who shop with us or take class- but as family and friends. 

 We want to wish you a very Happy New Year, and we hope to see all of you, and many new faces, in 2016 and in the years to come. 

Sweetly yours, 

Stephanie
