Hello everyone,
My name is Christine, I've been perusing your galleries for the past few days and decided to just jump on in and introduce myself. I didn't see a newbie posting area so I figured here would be a good place to start.
I live in Boston, MA and have been making cakes for family and friends for a few years. I have a few pictures of my cakes but after seeing the ones in the gallery I think I'd be embarrassed to post them. There are some amazingly talented decoraters here. I'm finally signing up for my first Wilton class tomorrow and can't wait to get started, though I'll still have to wait a week. At this point I use only buttercream and I can't wait to learn how to use fondant and some of the other things I've read about here.
Thanks for letting me introduce myself,
Christine
Welcome! Please post everything! This is a place to share and if you want constructive criticism mention that in your cake description! There are all levels here from first cakes to professional. This community loves the enthusiasm that we all have to so post away!
Welcome!!! The classes are a good start and are fun to do. But I have to tell you, I have learned so much from all of the talented people here at CC. Everyone seems to always be willing to help in one way or the other. Have fun with it!! 
Hi...definately post your pics...there are so many different levels of skill on this site, you dont have to worry about it...we would love to see your pics!
feel free to post your pictures. i felt how you did when i first started looking at this site, but 3 wilton classes and about 30 cakes later, i'm not so shy. it just takes practice, and more practice. i'm pretty sure my family is burnt out on cake 
Welcome to our addiction!! Hope you enjoy it as much as we do! 
Your life will never be the same again.. You will be like all of us, eating lunch in front of CC, checking morning noon and night, every chance checking.... Before you go to the store, bed, or whatever checking... lol on and on.....
Welcome and dont be shy about showing your pics... Everyone makes you feel so welcomed. Even share disasters those seem to be the funniest !!! and makes your decorating easier... 
WELCOME
Thank you so much for such a warm welcome ladies 
I can see that I will be addicted as I spent so much time just reading the articles and looking at all the fantastic cake pictures. I did post one of my cakes, I have to find the files that have the others. I tend to be a little shy and mainly read on mb's but I think that will be different here as I'm sure I'll be coming to you all with tons of questions.
Thanks again for welcoming me
Christine, welcome and I hope you enjoy yourself as much as I am here. And NEVER be embarrassed to show your work. We are all family.
Welcome Christine! Another CC junkie in the making! I was pretty timid about posting pics as well, but I have received nothing but praise. (and some of my cakes have been pretty questionable!!!). And to be quite honest, I learn something from every cake I see on this site, whether or not it is a "perfect" creation. Even if the cake has imperfections, you still learn from the overall Idea.
Plus, As it has been said many many times, we are our own worst critics!
lol
Welcome Christine! As you can see, you'll find nothing but friends & helping tips here on CC. Concider us your second family. BTW, I took a peak at the one cake you did post it its really pretty. I think you have a great cake decorating future ahead of you.
Oh Cheftaz, please forgive me 
, I truly didn't mean to offend. I'm so used to 'talking' to all moms on a parenting website, this will take some getting used to.
Welcome at cc you will love it, As of myself I get in at least twice a day just to check new topic and to see all the new cake that they load, you are going to be here for hour and hour trust me. Is all about caring and helping each other and bake and bake and decorating
Welcome! I'm pretty new, too! I just made my first cake a few weeks ago, and this site is just full of talented, helpful people. Your cakes look great!!
Good luck to you!
Angie
Welcome!!!
You obviously have talent. (I just peeked at your photos. They're great!!! ) I absolutely love the carousel cake. What is the top layer (top of the carousel) sitting on-besides the poles from the horses? Also, where did you find the horses?
Welcome!
Wow, you are all so sweet! Thank you again for such a warm welcome.
Bakersofcakes, the carousel has two discs that the poles snap into on each end. I was soooo worried that it was going to crush the bottom cake or fall over. I got it at Michaels, theres a few variations you can do with the set, of course I chose the most difficult for my first time with it. I'm pretty sure its made by Wilton. I'll try to find a link for it.
Ok, I found it, I hope this link works, http://www.wilton.com/store/site/product.cfm?sku=2103-1139&killnav=1
edited to add link
Thanks so much, MommyChristine!!!
I've really got to get to Michaels. Everyone keeps saying they have everything!
Welcome to CC . I know ow you feel about your first cakes and posting them for everyone to see. But here at CC, it feels just right when you hear how well you are doing. I have just completed the Wilton classes, I know you will learn alot from them, but you will also learn lots more here at Cake Central.
Have lots of fun and will be watching to see your next cake project!!!!
