I would say there there is A) 70% encouragement and help, advise, good stuff, etc... B) 20% drama about collecting payment, what to do, how to handle a bridezilla and c) 10% complaints, arguments and newbies with drama issues.
Remember, we are heading into "cake season". At Christmastime this past year 2008, there was nothing to be found but advice on family cakes, yule logs, tutorials, etc..
Just go with the ebb and flow of CC. Its a GREAT place and a lot less snarky than so many other forums. I can name a few, but that would be adding to the drama. Suffice-it-to-say, CC is generally not about drama between decorators, it is a place to hear and be heard and encouraged, ok?
*big vanilla buttercream hugs for you* Sorry if I got you all sticky!

I understand that...but as i said it was my opinion and from what i've seen and read lately. Of course the threads don't have a subject where u immediately know theres going to be drama. The topic could be something like "I am making a pink cake but i don't have pink coloring what to do?" and of course u have ur comments that are very helpful and then there can be one person who makes a snide remark and then it turns into a war zone. I never said CC was about drama I said that these innocent threads always turn ugly and those threads are the one that generally get the most views and comments. U can agree or not its my honest opinion and I'm done with it
I prefer chocolate buttercream
