    My girlfriend is interested in starting a diaper cake business & was searching for some seminars/classes that she could attend in order to broaden/develop her craft/skills. She can only find videos/tutorials online. How can she find "classes/seminars" that she can attend? We live in Greenville, NC & would prefer classes/seminars on the East Coast, but willing to travel "west" if needed. Thank you for assisting.
