oh oh oh when you buy something at the cake store and smugle it in the house like contraband

You know you're a cake deco addict when:

You pretend you're performing a demo for a class of 30 while you decorate your 12-year-old's birthday cake. (Never know when Food Network might call!)

You practice your autograph for when you do your book signing.

I'm learning so many tricks and what a hoot!

I am getting ready to paint so I may have to mix up a batch of royal icing first to fill in the nail holes. My other favorite, luster dust as eyeshadow - I've never thought of that before!!

You guys are so funny, too. This is a hoot.


You know you're a cake deco addict when:


You look into your dear old Grandma's wrinkly little face...

...and you want to take a fondant smoother to it.

You know you're a cake deco addict when:

You lay in bed for 20 minutes at 11pm deciding if you should go back downstairs to look up more ideas/recipes knowing you're getting up in a few hours.

Then sneaking downstairs to do it so you don't wake up your husband!

...when you dream about designs and wake up at 2am to put them down on cake then sneak back to bed. Then your husband wakes you at 7 wondering when the heck you did this?!?! (true story)

You know your addicted when your sitting in the clinic with your child who has the flu and 104 fever you lean over to your husband and say...
That ladies shirt sure would make a pretty cake!!

He looked at me rolled his eyes and said you have to be kidding.


I wasn't lol but said i was!! lol

when you are building a house and design the garage around ALL your cake decorating stuff, add a pantry JUST for your baking goods, shop for kitchen furniture and test the height by sitting down and "testing" it for decorating.

You know your an addict when:

Your thinking....I could take the power bill money add it with the phone bill money and buy a KA Mixer.

You know you're a cake deco addict when:


Your kids are sick of cake.

I love this thread! LOL, I haven't been doing this very long, but I already relate to all of everyone's posts, although I haven't tried luster dust as eyeshadow yet. Here's mine:

You know you're a cake deco addict when:

You're having to quit work because of a back disability and you budget $550 of your disability back pay to buy all of the organizational shelves and contraptions that you need for all of the cake stuff you've acquired. LOL, you also make sure that there is enough money in that $550 to cover the cost of a kitchenaid pro 600 mixer! Then while you're designing the food budget that you're going to live on with you're best friend, you say, "Oh, we have to include ALL of the cake, cookie, and decorating ingredients that I buy every two weeks in there." (This is all a true story) LOL

You know you're a cake deco addict when:


Your kids are sick of cake.

Thank you all for the funny replies. This has been so much fun. Come back again if you think of any more!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHA


You can't prove it.

I swear I saw cornstarch dust on my windowsill.

you know you're a cake deco addict when...

you plan an entire party around a fabulous cake you want to try(my girls are getting peter pan this year)

you have a notebook next to your bed, just in case inspiration strikes.

there's more frosting in your fridge than condiments

Oh, well then I'm off the hook. If it had been me, it would have been confectioner's sugar, so.....


Whew!

This is too funny! Okay, okay, I got one:

You know you're an addict when...you would rather have new cake toys than new clothes or a visit to the hair salon!!!

DH has actually suggested that I go to the salon for some "time off" and I am calculating how much stuff I could order online with that money! LOL!!

This is really fun.

You know you're an addict when you have more "toys" than your 3 year old!!

Whenever you check your mail and have multiple messages from that addicting cake group that you can't get enough of, you click on all of them so they all open up for you to read, one window right on top of the other. Then, after you read your first message, you click on "Home" to see what new messages are highlighted back on the home page. While that loads (because, you see, you have dial up and it takes remarkably long for a window to open) you go and click on the next message that you opened. After reading that, you click "home" because you know that by then a bunch of new messages are going to be highlighted in that box on the home page that will be different from the ones you checked three minutes ago. While that page loads, you go back to the first window that is waiting for you on what was the "home" page three minutes ago. This goes on for about 15 minutes while you toggle back and forth between your CC messages and the different "snapshots" of the homepage.

Now, I don't do this personally . . . I've just read about this somewhere in one of the posts. Wait, let me check one of my three open CC windows and see if I can find... oops ... I'm busted!

Oh yeah I agree with them all.

It's all funny because you all know it's true.

You know your a cake deco addict when:

you think of every excuse/birthday/holiday to make a cake.

you have a pen and paper on the way to work and all you do is design and write plans on how to construct a cake.

you surf the net looking for cool cake deco toys to dream on.

you sit at work dreaming about going home and working on cakes rather than doing your job

you stay up late doing cakes when you know you have to work early the next morning.

you haggle with your DH over computer time just to log onto CC!
