This stuff is so funny!!! Here's a few more:

You move all of your food stuff out of the pantry so you can make room for all of your cake decorating stuff.

You ask your DH if he would consider expanding the kitchen for your birthday or anniversary so you would have more room for all of your cake decorating stuff.

You designate a special plate for family samples and everything else is off limits!

My daughter got married and I turned her walk-in closet into storage for my cake stuff. It's getting growded now I'm looking at my son's closet. icon_rolleyes.gif

Thank goodness he's on his own, not that it would matter. icon_wink.gif

You know your a cake addict when:

You are at work and you hear someone say birthday and you tell them you make cakes and hand them your number.

When you take all your class cakes to work just so people will see them and ask who did that so you can try to get some work. (not that i don't like my job...just not as much as i love my cakes)

When you have to call a friend and ask her to be your guinea pig for a cake you had to try to do, but there's too much of it for your family, and the freezer is already full of cake....
that happened last month!!! Let's say her four y-o was happy to get a big 3 tier cake (strawberry shortcake from my pics) icon_smile.gif

..every piece of paper around your house has cake sketches on it
..all your birthday and christmas presents are cake related
..you plan your family's birthday cakes months in advance

When your hubby is up looking at you lay'n in bed and asks you what your thinking about and you look at him and say cake ideas..lol..the look on his face.

When you keep frozen cake chunks in the frezzer for your kids to have for snaks.

When the only part of the cake you eat is the top that you cut off after it has cooled a bit, cuz it's still warm.
I have been doing cakes for almost a year and That is all i eat of cakes now, and most the time I don't even do that. I'll make cakes i love it but don't give me any.

oh and when you make a cake your hubby asks are you gonna make on for me???

Guilty!

You know you're a cake deco addict when:

...both your daughters are doing science projects based on baking.



My 12 year old is testing baking sodas and my 13 year old is testing royal icing recipes/additives for strength!!!!


Hey, if I have to help them do the project, I'm going to learn something useful from it all!

When you should be taking a nap, because both of your kids are taking one at the same time and you went to bed at 2:00 am in the morning...doing cakes.
And you are still in CC!

LOL, these posts are great!

You know you're a cake deco addict when:

You're in too much pain to go to work(back problems), but you manage to still sit in you're computer chair so you can read the latest on CC. The good thing is my computer is right next to my comfy couch so if I need to, I can turn my monitor and put the keyboard in my lap so that I can be more comfortable.

DID IT -- READ ALL 10 PAGES!

You know you're a cake deco when...


your 3-year old knows to "sqeeze from the top" of a piping bag.


you have to restrain yourself from laughing and pouring out your REAL feelings to about that Costco or Walmart cake that the person who bought the cake is raving over.

LOL -- this is a great thread! icon_biggrin.gif

These were great!

Last week our electricity went out for a few hours early in the morning before my husband left for work. Hubby kept calling me to check and see if the power was back on. It had been back on for many hours and I couldn't get away from this site long enough to vacuum so I would tell him ' no the power is still out'. At 5pm when he called before he left work I finally had to tell him it was back on.

You work at a Michaels, and even with the staff discount, by the time you're finished shopping the Wilton aisle, you still don't have a paycheque left! (I should just tell them to pay me in product...I'd still owe them money!)

ps- I read all previous pages. Great thread! If you can't laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at? Others just like you, that's who!

You know you are a cake addict when:

You find out your grandmother is dying and turn to your CC friends before your husband.

You walk through the house and see your new cake toy (MY AGBAY!) and it makes you smile and makes you want to bake a cake, just so you can use it.

You go to a mid-week church activity and they are shocked you don't have frosting all over you clothes and that your hands are normal color.

Your 4 year old is watching a new movie and the first thing they say when they're done is that they want a cake designed after the movie.

You look at new movies come out and wonder what would make a nice cake from the movie.

You sell all your furniture and put 90% of your belongings in storage so you can move across country but you take all your cake decorating equipment, supplies, books, ingredients, etc.

The first thing you do when you are getting ready to move is look up how far away the closest cake store is.

You choose the state you move to based on their home baking laws.

You smell like buttercream.

You buy buttercream candles so when clients come over your house smells really strong of buttercream.

You don't need to buy the candles, but you do anyway, just in case.

You pay an extra 200 dollars a month in rent so you can have a 3 bedroom apartment to store your cake stuff in.

You plan a reunion for you husband's mission just so you can make a cake you have been wanting to make. The reunion is 1000 miles away and you are stopping there on your way to a cross country move.

Yeah. I'm pathetic.
