This Can't Be Real. They Let You Photoshop Your Stuff First?
Decorating By spoonfedcake Updated 5 Jul 2008 , 4:40pm by flayvurdfun
Okay, just finished going through this thread and all links. I really hope this 'person' (I use the term loosely and refuse to acknowledge said 'person' as 'member') is a prankster, because I sincerely hope nobody is that stupid.
I really felt that she (?) should be given a break, just like somebody else suggested, especially for being a newbie and maybe not being sophisticated enough to have some knowledge of etiquette (of any kind), but as a few others have pointed out, this person just kept insisting, no matter what (s)he was told or how nicely anyone explained, that there was no way the cookies could have been painted.
So I'll handle this the way I do in 'real' life: my theory when someone is standing in my way is to say "excuse me" and if they don't move I'll repeat myself a bit more loudly. If they still don't move I'll try again in a louder voice and after that I just push them out of my way. (I always try to check for hearing aids and to make sure as well as I can that the person is not deaf/using sign language and such). But I can only be nice for so long. This is the basis for my decision in dealing with this individual.
So again, hopefully this is just a prankster trying, for who knows why, to get some kicks.
Ahhh Doug.....I can just see you in a pink golf shirt now 
And as for the A$$ of the original post...2 words....GO AWAY!!!

It's not what you say ... but how you say it !!!
To the original poster ... You were rude !!!!!!!! 
Even after being schooled on how yes, this is in fact possible you kept running your ignorant mouth !!! 
lbain,
Don't take it as a hit to the newbie. 
I'm sure there was a time when we've all used canned frosting...especially when the bug first bit us. I think the reason they were questioning her being a newbie is because of the specific post that was sent up. A decorator was trying to figure out what type of icing was used for a cake and OP suggested she use canned frosting. It wasn't a slight for those that use canned icing, but not necessarily something a professional would suggest...
Hopefully you understand where I'm coming from. I just didn't want you to think that people were dogging those that use canned icing. Welcome to CC btw.

Someone PM'd me this thread - I was on and off with a BBQ and kids and 4th of July stuff....I'm sorry but this whole thing is a hoax. I appreciate everyone's kind words (you guys are very sweet) but this is someone trying, obviously, to humiliate me and make me look like an idiot in a forum where I practically live & breathe.
Yes, the cookies were painted with airbrush colors and I realize they are not 'all that and a bag of chips', I never said they were - I'm not sure what I did to pi$$ someone off but oh well. I am deleting the pictures so there won't be an issue anymore.
Again, thank you all for being so very nice with all your supportive comments.
Thanks Keyshia!
I appreciate the console
I really want to try the butterdream recipe on CC but my next cake is yellow w/chocolate so I guess I will have to stick to canned frosting this time haha oh well
oh go for making your own...
you KNOW you want to melt chocolate chips to use to make the icing (while stuffing at least one handful of chips in the mouth! -- quality control ya know!)
a recipe: http://www.cakecentral.com/cake_recipe-750-6-Chocolate-Frosting-III.html
or make a chocolate ganache

of course, now we can all get in a huff as to which chocolate (belgian) is the best (belgian) chocolate (belgian)
hahah! You know me all too well Doug lol
I know they aren't like real chocolate but I recently bought candy melts from wilton to make seashells and i made the mistake of opening a bag of white ones and now everytime i go in the kitchen a grab a few....
cripes, It won't let me delete them.
How's that for stamping your foot and slamming the door only to realize it has one of those really slow-closing arms on it? 
I'll figure something out - sorry if I sound like a raging witch, I am just frustrated. Have been getting stupid, prank calls on my business line for weeks and this is slowly pushing me over the edge.
Okay, I'm signing off now to go blow something up.....literally. Hope you all have a lovely 4th of July.
there was an episode on the food network (sorry can't remember which one) but they showed a woman who hand painted cookies and they look like miniture paintings. Great job cakediva.

UGH!!! Where were you YESTERDAY when I had to run out to buy cocoa??? I should have known that you would know the best recipes!!!
Don't let it get to you CakeDiva. I remember doing my first competition last year and set my cake down in it's spot and walked away for a few minutes. Then went back to take a picture only to have other competitors talking smack about my cake and how they figures were NOT hand modeled (HA! I took progress photos along the way as proof! hehehe). They were being so mean, I wanted to cry!
I wanted to cry until I won "Best of Show" anyway... 
It's purely jealousy darlin'. Don't let someone else's issues become yours - your work is obviously real and shows incredible talent.
I didn't read through all the posts, but just by looking at the first post and picture you can tell it's real ... there is a little bit of color run off on the very edge of the iced part. You should confront the person you are accusing before making such a statement.
Beautiful coookies!!!
. . . CakeDiva . . . leave those pictures right where they belong . . . if you try to remove them the OP has the last laugh (in their eyes only) . . . and we here who love your work will be the ones that stand to lose something (your beautiful work) . . . let it roll off your back girl . . . the OP will NOT last on this site (they will be run out of CC town) . . . 
Goodness....gracious.....great balls of fire! 
Cakediva,
I am so thankful you were unable to delete your gorgeous cookies. They are true works of art, and are a great inspiration to others.
I'm sorry someone has been harassing you.
Continue on with your fantastic work, and don't let them get to you.
-Debbie B.
CakeDiva73 you should not remove your pictures. It is obvious that this person is after you for something. Just joining today and noticing your cookies just like that???? I've been a member for awhile and search all the time and have not had the pleasure of seeing your great work.
Please keep your cookies posted they are a work of art.
hmmmm.....I wonder.....
CakeDiva,
you say you've been getting prank/harassing phone calls..
and then this individual comes on here and harasses you.....
could they be one and the same person?
calls can be traced.
and so can posts -- every post, tho' we don't see it, has an IP address attached.
if it continues, just might be worth having it all traced.
PS -- if you dare to remove any of your photos --
I'll sit on you! (warning, I don't kid about being a baby elephant for nutin')
now be "bad" (after all being good is no fun! and be of good cheer....
keep those many masterpieces coming --
and just so ya know -- I saw your new avatar and said to self, Well now isn't that interesting, she's using a avatar size copy VanGough's pic.... little did I realize you had done it and it was a cookie!!!!!
you go girl!
OMG! I just read through this whole post, how sad that we have this kind of person on CC. 
Can't this person be banished from CC due to the disrespect and rudeness they have clearly displayed! We don't need this kind of person in our community! Prankster or not, they should not be allowed to be a member of CC!
hmmmm.....I wonder.....

I second that Doug! CakeDiva please leave your photos up, you inspire us all with your great talent! If I were you I would be baking some large cookies tonight and painting some more works of art to post! Big {{{HUGS}}} to you.

I'm glad you couldn't delete them. So now forget that idea and DON"T DELETE THEM! If you do I...I....I'll never talk to you again! Hrmph! And boy, will you be sorry, because I can talk! I can talk the paint right off the wall and I type pretty quickly so in essence I can type the paint right off the wall too! Now don't tell me you want to miss all my fillerbusting just because you were silly enought to remove two great photos of your incredible work! There, that's my threat for the day! Take it or leave it! 
Seriously, don't give the OP the satisfaction.
MissDiva, if you say it's a hoax, then there's no need to delete your photos...right? That would only feed this troll.
And sorry, but your cookies ARE all that and a bag of chips. And maybe a cupcake.
sees the "that", bag of chips and cupcake....
and raises it a bag of chocolate chips! (this is like high stakes poker!)
---
and ahem....
seems to me I remember seeing on one of your photos, that your DD had requested you do "MONA"....so....????? and just when will that little masterpiece be making its debut.
-----
don't give in to negativity...... fight it with good thoughts, those marvelous cookies and chocolate!
