Hi!

I am new to cake central and I was wondering who else my age was a member (I am 14). I thought it would be cool to see how other people my age are decorating cakes. I'd love to see your cakes!

Your friend in cake decorating!

Nice to see younger people intersted in cake decorating. I am sorry to say that i'm not your age, but just wanted to say that I started decorating when I was 10 years old. Wish I had this site back then.

Keep up the great work Deborah. Your pictures are wonderful.

Hello, Deborah. I am a newbie, too, but have been decorating since '91. (My Girl Scout troop is all HS girls 10-12 grades) By looking at your cakes I can say that you will be making a lot of money making cakes for friends in High School. What a great way to earn extra $$.

Keep up the good work. thumbs_up.gif

I just wanted to say that I think It's wonderful that there are younger people out there with a passion for the art of cakes. I am not young like yourself, but I started cake decorating at the age of 14 too. I became interested in the art at the age of 13. That was 32 years ago! I have one picture of a cake I did way back then that my mother took. Good luck with all your decorating!!!!

I'm 18, and I haven't really started decorating much but I hope to in the near future. I have only decorated one cake, and I LOVE to bake cakes. My dad gets on to me every time I bake one because "we don't need that many sweets around."

Hey everyone! I'm 24 and have always been interested in cake decorating. My mom use to make all the cakes for family events and friends. I would always make the BC roses for her. But i just started making cakes last august(finally have a reason to make them). I havent taken any courses or anything, so what i learn is here on CC! But i love it and think its so much fun!

I'm also 28...but just started to get really interested in decorating. Have not yet taken any courses...Wilton is not offered anywhere near where I am...but I may be taking one a bakery offered in September! I'm excited! And CC is invaluable for what you can learn here!

I want to place my hand in as another 28 year old! I started seriously decorating about four months ago. Before that I would just bake a cake and slap some frosting on it...that's where the desire to take the Wilton courses came from...I wanted to be able to make lettering that you could READ and flowers that were more then shapeless blobs! Now, I'm completely obsessed, and I'm probably going to take a bakery position that I was offered yesterday so I can throw away my mundane retail job (even though it means a pay cut) icon_biggrin.gif!

Hi everyone!! I'm 27 and have always loved to bake. I have always known that I wanted to do something artistic, but couldn't find the right medium. About 4 months ago i was walking around A.C. Moore and saw they were offering wilton classes. I have been hooked ever since. And I'm totally obsessed w/ CC. Thanks to everyone for their great tips and advice.

I too am 27. I love baking and mostly made candy and cookies until recently. I wanted to make a cake for my daughter's 1st birthday. That's when I stumled across CC. I've been hooked ever since!
