Hey everyone,

I am sure I am not the first, nor the last to say this. But I wanted to share a few of my recent cakes and tell everyone how thankful I am for cake central!! I feel like I am finally coming along with my cakes and I honestly owe it to this website!!! Being a work at home mom with 3 little ones under 4 I don't get to post too often.. but I on here constantly with the rest of you (haha) and just cannot believe how much I have learned.
This place is just invaluable!! and I also thank everyone who has taken the time with me on PMs. Your knowledge and guidance is more than I could ever ask for or expect!!

Anyway... just wanted to say although I am not a somebody yet LOL .. I am getting there faster than I ever thought I would. We're closing on a house next month and hopefully I will get my licensed home kitchen for the new year!

Thanks again everyone!! There is no way I could have made any of these cakes without cake central!!

I am open to any and all comments, critiques, etc.

WOW!!!!!!!! Your cakes are BEAUTIFUL! I can't imagine how you do it with 3 little ones. I have two and at times get stressed (although I'm really new at decorating). I agree...CC is an awsome website and I've learned sooooo much from reading all the posts. I think I'd be lost without visiting this place!

Your cakes are absolutely amazing!!! I wish I had half your talent. You will do great at selling your cakes in your licensed kitchen. I especially love the Little Pony cake. It is amazing and so colorful. What talent you have. sunflowerfreak

If your not a anybody, then I definately want to be you.

Your cakes are Gorgeous. Good luck on your business, but with cakes like these you won't need luck, because you have TALENT !!!!!!!!

Wow! Your cakes are sooo cool!! How did you do the rainbow cake? Was that fondant painted?

Absolutely beautiful cakes! Congrats!

They are all wonderful. How do you do that ruffle on the first cake. Mine look like s---! But to put one exactly on top of the other - wow - is there a trick to that?

Your cakes are beautiful and well done. Congratulations on your new home and licensed kitchen. Your cake business should be tremendous. I have no one home with me during the day and still get fustrated doing cakes, don't know how you do it with 3 little ones.

Thank you very much for your kind words everyone!! I have a long ways to go.. but am inspired everyday buy everyone on here!!

CakeDiva73 ... the rainbow is fondant colored with Americolr electric colors. I made a template using my 6in cake pan since that was the size of the cake... then I cut out a thin piece of white fondant to use as a backing for the colored strips to stick to... then I cut out trips of colored fondant stuck them on as a rainbow and rolled over them a little bit with my roller to help them stay close together.

joanmary .. those ruffles were such a challenge for me!! LOL Especially because that was a soft cream cheese icing.. the bottom row was horrible and luckily the second row helped it out... the second row seemed to be easier since I followed the up and down pattern of the first. i believe I used a tip 127 for the bottom ruffle and a 125 for the top. and shells under the bottom row. I practiced A LOT before actually putting them on the cake.. It took a lot to find my "rhythm" with them.

Your cakes are stunning!!! What wonderful talent you have. Can't wait to see more of your creations!

Your cakes are beautiful.

scoobam ... your cakes are absolutely beautiful and soooo creative!!! You're going to be very successful in your home bakery business!!! Great job! I agree with you that CC is THE BEST!!!!!!

SCOOBAM!!! Your cakes are incredible!!!!! When my kids were that little, I couldn't get anything done! I started getting into cakes just before I found out #3 was on the way. I'm just now getting into it very much (& just found CC!) & #3 just started school.

Good luck on your new home & business! God Bless!

Scoobam, why didn't you post your cakes to the gallery?

I agree with you about CC... I've learnt more on here with everyones help than everywhere else all put together

Love your cakes, look forward to seeing more!

Hear Hear!!! I lift my glass in praise of CC and all who contribute to make this site my favourite hangout lol I love the ideas, the photos and the quick answers when we are in a tight bind it's almost like a chat room with how fast the responses flow in. I like that we can laugh at ourselves and not feel bad because others are not afraid to chime in and tell about their mistakes and mishaps. And to the people that keep this site going I thank you one and all for a job well done.
