I love getting and sharing information and ideas with others here.

No one in my family can understand my passion for cake decorating, so I escape here to my little world where everyone understand and share the same passion.

I love looking at all the wonderful cakes, recipes and instructions.

I'm here to learn new things, find ideas and inspirations, chat w/ others who share my hobby and share what I have learned in turn.

Additionally -- and I"m not really sure how "PC" this is to say, but I'm also here because as a single mother with an "average" income, I like that this message board and forum is a free service, unlike another really good website i used to belong to. Sometimes I need to count and really watch my pennies!!

I come here for ideas, to learn and share and because you guys are so neat to hang out with. Only foodies understand why we love what we do. And how we can take something that stresses our imagination and call it fun. Does that make sense???

I mean when I do a cake (Any kind--BD or wedding), I get the idea and then I run wild with it in my head before it starts on the cake. Critique myself heavily then breathe a sigh of relief when I finish.

And am I the only one that hangs around within earshot of the cake table to hear what people say???

Well, I am here for the friendship and compassion and caring and sharing and support that goes on, on a regular basis. Secondly for the interests that we all have in common. We share, we learn, we grow.
I think the most fascinating thing is how we get to meet people from all over the world, with different artistic impressions and abilities and cultural interpretations. It sort of opens up your world to new ideas.

I'm here because DH will murder me in my sleep if I talk to him about cakes as much as I'm on here.

I'm here because I'm an insufferable know-it-all and feel an unsuppressable urge to share my newfound knowledge with everyone I can.

I'm here because the amount I know is teeny tiny compared with how much I can learn here.

I'm here because I'm a SAHM and would go insane without some adult interaction throughout the day.

I'm here because I'm insecure and need compliments and encouragement.

I'm here because I LOVE YOU PEOPLE!

I agree with most of you. I love looking at everyone's cakes, recipes and ideas. This site keeps me going. I bore my husband with all my cake ideas and he is fed up with all of my pans and decorating gadgets. It's nice having a place to go with so many people that share your same interests and experience the same problems and excitement you have. I also like to hang around the cake table to hear all of the comments. It gives me butterflies to hear someone rave about a cake you put all of your time into. icon_smile.gif

well i love to be here because i dont know a single person who bakes or decorates cakes and if you ask a person you dont know they will not give up their secrets.

i love how every one is so nice and loving and supportive in each other and each others ideas even if they are different from their own.

i have learned so much here and not just in baking and decorating. i have learned that even though we can be on the other side of the world, our same talent has brought us together and made us friends.

icon_biggrin.gif Exactly! I love the open sharing of ideas and helpful tips. Even though there is a lot of info I'll never use, I am fascinated by all the different approaches to baking and decorating. Reading the board is addictive! CC has grown so much just in the short time since I've joined. I no longer feel like a rebel without a cause just cause I like to bake from scratch.

Im here because if I would of known of this place, I could of taken classes from everyone here. and now that I have taken the classes I come here for help and I can actually have a conversation with some real people and get honest answers. Everyone here is uplifting and really gets you motivated when your down. My husband actually gets into my cakes. He has helped me so much. And let me say when he gives an honest opinion, he goes all out. Hes the greatest. But I love all the people here and the help they give. I could live on this site if I could icon_biggrin.gif
