Confectionary2 (that's her username) posted this link in another thread, which has left me speechless: http://www.flickr.com/photos/14559934@N04/ These amazing decorators have nearly 700 INCREDIBLE cakes to look at, which should take me awhile! LOL I had posted this link for your viewing enjoyment, which was lost in the DB crash, so I'll repost it here: http://www.edibledesignsbyjessie.com/wedding.htm Please post your bookmarked favorites here so I don't die of boredom when CC goes down again! Also, does anyone else know of any cake discussion forums besides Lady Cakes and Baking 9 1 1? Thanks! Sherri Sugar_Plum_Fairy Forum SuperStar!

I've been searching for good cake photos a lot lately with all the down time here. It's very frustrating and I really wish at this point that Heath and Jackie would consider making this a paid site to ensure there's revenue to cover the cost of the servers. (A friendly hint: I just paid $25 to Sarah Philips and I'm not all that gung-ho about her site. I'd be willing to pay about double that annually for this site if needed!) I hate going without my CC The only 'site' that I came up with that was really worth it, was one I've mentioned in a previous post and I believe it might be temporary. It's: http://www.brides.com/brides/cakes. I know it's not much to offer, but that's what I've got so far. Cakepro Forum SuperStar!

Sarah's site requires a paid membership now? I'm not sure throwing money at this site is the solution....unless they were able to hire someone to keep the site up and running glitch-free in addition to more hardware upgrades.

I would pay for a membership on here to make things run more smoothly. Unfortunatley my funds have been really tight. I can't even go out to eat anymore and I think twice about driving to my moms house. I checked out   and I really don't like it too much. It's nothing remotly close to cc I usually go on youtube or flicker. Sometimes I just google cakes and take my sweet time looking at other cakes. I have run into some sites but I don't bookmark them because it just doesn't do it for me. Ladies and gentleman I am addicted to cake central. I have a problem and I am admitting it. That's the first step, right? When my funds get a little better I am going to make a nice donation. Sugar_Plum_Fairy Forum SuperStar!

It's for Premium Membership - basically if you want to be able to view recipes, galleries, etc. While I'm not bashing her, it seems that she has some questionable practices - apparently anything that you post to her site becomes her property. That includes recipes and photos as well as tutorials. So I go there for reference, but it's nowhere near as good as this site! If that site crashed it wouldn't be too much of a loss, but everytime I can't log onto CC I go bonkers.

I'm going crazy when Cake Central is down. ShirleyW Forum SuperStar!

No drama or infighting there, Jenn would not allow it for a minute. Many very talented decorators there, sharing and friendly as well. There are several other cake forums available rb designs thatcakeplace cakescanada The Bakers Bar Ladycakes place Depends on what you are looking for. Many members here also belong to Flickr. aundron Frequent Member Joined: Jun 26, 2006 Posts: 461 Location: Tennessee Birthday: Oct 26 Posted: Tue Apr 01, 2008 11:30 am  When this site is down; I always go to flickr to get ideas and see all the neat cakes!! You can spend hours over there; only thing is; I miss the conversations!! beachcakes Forum SuperStar!

Does anyone know anything about www.[blocked].com? Apparently it's a paid membership, though for the life of me I can't figure out how much...and they are only going to take just a few new members April 4.

I can rarely get into CC any more. ddmckinney Junior Member Joined: Mar 07, 2007 Posts: 58 Location: Jax., FL Posted: Wed Apr 02, 2008 7:33 am  the [blocked] site is $19.95/mo. I'm not a member, just followed the thread to check them out, and that info was on the member benefits page. Looks pretty cool, but you can't see hardly anything without paying. I love CC hope they get everything worked out. kwdonlon Regular Member Joined: May 06, 2007 Posts: 155 Location: Dallas Posted: Wed Apr 02, 2008 7:40 am  Thanks, DD $20/mo? Um...no...especially since you can't test drive the site first. tiggy2 Forum SuperStar!

I'd rather pay $25 month for CC then $19.95 for [blocked].
