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 icon_rolleyes.gif)

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!

I am so guilty of all of these things!!! icon_lol.gificon_lol.gif

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!! icon_cry.gif

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!"

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! icon_biggrin.gif

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!!)

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 dig through your sink which is piled up with dishes to find your cake pan... And you wash ONLY THAT.

....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 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...)
