Darby you should have told me! I would have waited. I'm sorry, I thought everyone had had plenty of time to get in touch with me. :( And yep, they're for everyone on here.
 
Ugh...oh well, ce la vie. You dont happen to have any left do you???
 
Darby, I may have some at home. How many do you need?
 
WOW, that's a lot of cake testers! I wonder if HO will call you to ask why?
 
I don't know why they discontinued these! I love mine and everyone I gave one loved them too! So much better than toothpicks!
 
Where did you get them?I searched and couldn't find them, where did you find them?

Thanks,
KElley
 
Hey Kelley,

She lives in Scotland and they're still available there!;)

Darby I emailed them to see if I could add to it but it was already picking. I hope someone else has some for you. No question from them as to why!
 
Air Head Alert..what is the cake tester for? To see when its done??

I would love about 10, but I'll take as many as you have to offer. Let me know, Thanks!! :p
 
To see when the cake is completed without leaving a large slit from a knife or hole in the cake. The testers are mighty thin. I use them for crafts.
 
They're also a good card holder to pop into gift baskets. The ring on the end is double, so you can slip a piece of paper between them. (Or a match to light a fireplace.)

Darby- I'll try to remember to check my stash when I get home from work.
 
Any chance you might order any more?
 
HO is going to hold up the order and call you. Any quantities of 50 or more need to be pre-approved as per Recipe for Success.

They didn't Paige. Maybe because I only technically ordered 13... they come in batches of 10. Jodi, I won't be ordering anymore. They are discontinued next week and I would have to pay direct shipping on another stationary order. Sorry!
 
Can someone tell me??Ok, I know different areas have different products and promotions but am curious. I see that the cake testers were sold in lots of 10, was that a consultant deal - like supply order?

I heard someone talking the other day at a "Spring Kick Off" Susie Lite was at and they said they were ordering the Celebrate cookbook in as many lots of 5 as they could. I am not seeing where they are getting them - anyone know?

Thanks

Yes, I got them on supply order in batches of 10. I don't have an answer on the Celebrate cookbook because I only ever saw it sold as a single item on US supply for $5?
 
The Celebrate cookbook is currently on Supply Order for $5, but it's "limit 5 per consultant (or order)". That's the "lot of 5" that someone referred to.
