You Know You're A Cake Deco Addict When:
Decorating By SophieBelle Updated 21 Jul 2007 , 2:51am by mccorda
You take the profit from a wedding cake month away to buy a laptop so you don't have to fight anyone for the internet.
But I swear I will keep all my cake orders on the new laptop!!!! I really will -I'm researching ways to do that now!! Really I am!!! NO NO i'm not on "THAT" cake site!
....when you jump up from your computer to run upstairs to do something with your cakes. Like I just had to run upstairs because I was reading something on CC about freezing cakes, and that reminded me that my cakes have been cooling up there for an hour now (instead of the 10 mins. that I wanted before putting them in the freezer).
Oops, I thought you meant CC addict - lol.
my clothes were starting to look a little ruff and my DH said to go buy some--I went to hobby lobby and bought cake items instead. I walked in and he asked me if those pans were in my correct size or did I curse because nothing fits like in the dressing room. I told them they fit just right and put them with their other pan friends I have collected.
Oh and I'm one of those people who has more cake pans than I do shoes. I hate clothes shopping and hate crowds of people but I love cake shopping!
I make shells with my toothpaste and practice smoothing butter out on toast (I try to get as smooth as I hope to get a cake one day )
My own mom told me I need mental help when we were at a funeral and I saw a design on the casket and whispered "wouldn't that look pretty on a cake" I know I'm a horrible person--please don't fry me on this one!
...Your dog's name is Wilton.
you think of every excuse/birthday/holiday to make 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!
I am so guilty of all of these things!!!
You know you are a cake decorator when your kids plan their cakes months in advance!!
lisascakes, I am trying to talk DH into the laptop, but so far I am having no luck with it!!
....when ds wakes up at 2am and you don't complain because it's an opportunity to check CC for new posts (night yall)
...when your dd walks into the kitchen and says 'I smell something nice mum, what are you making?' I reply 'cake' and she walks off saying 'oh...I thought you were making something for us'....
...when your dd walks into the kitchen and says 'I smell something nice mum, what are you making?' I reply 'cake' and she walks off saying 'oh...I thought you were making something for us'....
Awwwww that sounds so familiar
When Dh asks you:
Besides Colorflow and powder sugar, what else is in there for a snack?
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)
OMG I do that too!! I don't even consider a theme until after I decide what the cake will be - it all revolves around the cake!!! lol
...when your dd walks into the kitchen and says 'I smell something nice mum, what are you making?' I reply 'cake' and she walks off saying 'oh...I thought you were making something for us'....
Awwwww that sounds so familiar
I'm so guilty of this too!!!! Our poor babies! Thank goodness mine are getting old enough to fix themselves something to eat especially when i am "down to the wire" on getting one out!
my motto- "my cakes are so fresh they are 15 minutes late!"
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 my gosh, thats insanely funny...and so very true! recently my husband said to me..."i hate to have to be the one to tell you this, but you are a cake addict. i logged on to cakecentral today to see a new comment on one of your photos (an email alert).....and then i saw that you had posted almost a thousand times (by this time he is dying laughing)...i couldnt believe it!!!....and it says by your name CAKE ADDICT ! "
NOW REALLY THOUGH, IT ISNT HARD TO POST A DOZEN TIMES IN ONE DAY! now multiply that with six months, come on , give a break dh!
sophiebelle, at least if you quit your "day" job as cake decorator, you know you can go out and take up stand up comedy.
....wilton......
LOL!
You know you're a cake deco addict when:
Your hubby takes 1/2 of the tax return money and buys a used 4-wheeler and then out of guilt tells you that "you should take the rest of that money and buy yourself something nice" and you instantly start to translate how much he spent on the 4-wheeler into pans and luster dust and gel coloring and cookie cutters and......
(yes, this conversation took place last night)
...when your DH offers to take you to a nice dinner and, instead, you opt for a 99 cent double cheese at McD's and that new pan you had your eye on! (Hmmm... I WOULD have had an appetizer... I guess that means I can get this luster dust too!!)
...when you get home from spending $150 at the grocery store and there's still nothing for the family to eat. My husband HATES that!!
I was just at the dollar store on Sunday looking at coloring books for the best looking butterfly to put on a birthday cake for this weekend!
...when you get home from spending $150 at the grocery store and there's still nothing for the family to eat. My husband HATES that!!
I'm a culprit of that too
.... When you move to France and you take 5lbs of stuff out of your suitcase in order to make room for cake supplies and make luggage weight.
You know you're a cake deco addict when:
Your 4 YEAR OLD plans her cake for months, knows which recipe she wants, and sets out all the tips you will need to make the cupcake cake for class treats.
Your 8 year old goes to the store for eggs at least once a week.
You feel bad because you should buy BC cake mixes for the points for school, but buy DH so the school won't think all you feed the family is cake!
You know the cycles of the females in the family, because each of them calls you for chocolate cake once a month.
You keep cake and frosting on hand to bribe the man to let you buy more cake supplies.
You've actually had several conversations on how art degrees are perfect for cake decorating.
The flowers are a supply, not a gift!
You've learned more about flowers from CC than from helping in the florist shop.
You get made at "whoever threw my cake pans in the recycleables!" "But, they were soup cans..." "Exactly! Soup for supper again, I need more for pans for the cake I'm making."
Oh, and I'm over here LOL and getting looks. So, of course had to tell him.
RI for filling in nail holes - great idea!
$150 at the grocery store and no food - yeah, done that too often. That got "the look" from him, but then "well, we really do like spaghetti and mac n cheese, so it's okay."
You know you're a cake deco addict when;
You dig through your sink which is piled up with dishes to find your cake pan... And you wash ONLY THAT.
....when the kids come in and say are those business cookies or can we help make them.
....when you take all the month's earnings just to take more classes.
....when your husband is the first one in line at a party to get a piece of cake because he's not allowed any at home
You're watching a movie and the action moves into the kitchen - you completely ignore everything else to study the cake on the counter!
You send your husband to Michael's or JoAnn's for cake supplies and he actually knows what your talking about.
You make your DH slam on the brakes because you just passed a store with the word "party" or "Kitchen" in the name. (hey you never know, they might have just the thing...)
