Mother to one daughter, 4 inside cats, who all know where they are allowed to be and where not, and wife, and in my free time, I bake and sell cakes, jams and whatnot

AI am a wife, mom, and full time ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgeon (eyelid and eye socket specialist). I love to bake and decorate for family, friends, and as a big thank you to my co-workers. I couldn't do it without my DH who supports me, encourages me, and gives me the time and space to bake. He is also an honest critic, taste tester and a great source of ideas. Baking is something I really enjoy doing, and also is a great way to relax and regroup from a busy life. I am fortunate to get to do this for fun, and greatly admire those of you who bake for a living and must deal with difficult customers, pricing, dead lines and licensing issues.

AI work in IT, and my job consists mostly of managing a SAP Business Intelligence system (data warehousing, web-based reporting, and dashboards supporting Finance, HR, Project Management, and Procurement) for a Fortune 50 company -- it's a great mix of technology, business, and design. I work from home, which has its good points (easy commute) and bad points (blurred lines between work time and non-work time).

I'm also an author on the side, and I founded an allergy-friendly bakery with my wife (a pastry chef) in San Jose in 2008. I sold the bakery in 2011 when my daughter was born.

AIm a RGM for Taco Bell. I decorate as a hobby usually just family. I enjoy decorating and look for occasions to do it.

Sales & Delivery Coordinator for a world-wide beverage corporation - hubby is in another department of the same company. Mom of 3 (supposedly grown) kids and grandma of 4. SOOO ready to be a full-time baker - next year is going to take FOREVER since I'm planning for it to be my last at my job.

Geophysicist.  I search for oil and gas (using 3D seismic) in the Gulf of Mexico.

I am a Physical Therapist, but health issues have meant I have had to put that (very physical) career aside.

Lucky fo rme I love caking as much as I do, as its now my full time career. Its also very physical but not as demanding as PT work.

I was a middle school Spanish teacher for 5 years, and then I sold cars.  Switched to selling Lancome cosmetics at Macy's and finally ended up becoming a sales representative for a college textbook publisher.  Now I am a SAHM to one daughter who is 6. I sell cakes once in awhile (have a very small baking business), but mostly do it as a hobby.  

AI am a factory worker.....I put the struts in General Motors cars. My DH also works for GM he does paint repair...I am the mother of 3 ages 23,19 and17. I am a hobby baker and only do it for family and friends

I am an Executive Assistant at a center against domestic abuse.

AI am a mail carrier & Mom of 3 ages 7, 2 & 5months. I bake before, after and sometimes the middle of night.

I'm a school psychologist. People always say you should advertise, but I get so many cake orders that it becomes burdensome because I can only bake on weekends and after 4 when I get home...taking a break for a while...it gets to be too much...people don't understand how time consuming these cakes are.  Now I'm baking for myself trying to enjoy it again.

Cakes are time consuming!!! I don't do a lot of cakes because I work on a casual basis and I've got a 1,3 and 7 year old and when they're playing and I'm in the kitchen trying to get perfect smooth sides on a ganached cake I sometimes feel a twinge of guilt and regret because I'd rather be playing with them. I decided not to take on any cakes the holidays (for this reason) and then I got asked to do my mum's birthday cake for the 14th of January. Bummer!!!!

BTW my casual job is a professional childcare worker. lol So I'm around kids alllll the time!!!

I am a payroll accountant on a TV show.

Head baker at one location of a small chain of bakeries. I do some cakes at home, but I'm cutting back since the new position takes up so much time and energy. No kids, not married, but I do have a wonderful boyfriend.
 

AI'm a prison officer!

No kids yet but I've just (20th December) bought a house with my wonderful boyfriend who is also a prison officer :)

I'm a cost controller for an engineering consultancy group, mostly for the mining sector.  I'm up to the grandma status (darn, I don't feel that old or according to my son I don't act it either).  Got the greatest present for Christmas, a second granddaughter.  Is it too greedy to wish for more considering I only had one child? I say "heck no".

Hope everyone had a great Christmas and best wishes for the new year.

AOh wow!! After reading some of your professions, I'm definitely semi jealous. I am a sahm to my 4 year old son and 9 month old daughter. I just graduated college and my wonderful husband of almost 6 years wants me to stay home with our kids as long as I can.

I'm a new owner of a small bakery...but just last year, I was working part time as an optician at Sam's Club and going to Nursing school.. I like cakes better...lol .. I have  2 kids.. 4yrs and 5yrs

AMost importantly, I am a wife & mom to 3 beautiful kids: 3, 6, & 8. I've also managed a career as an architect over the past 10 years, and have designed schools, hospitals, & residences. My favorite was an early learning center for preschool children at a local university. In my spare time, I make cakes for friends & family. Wish I had more time to spare.

What a fun topic. It's nice to learn a little about the people behind these beautiful cakes.

Im a CNA

Hi I work in an Infant school as a classroom assistant and also a lunchtime supervisory assistant and I bake most evenings and weekends.

AI sell software for Research and Development to companies (Pharmaceutical, cosmetics. Food and Beverage etc.) I travel a ridiculous amount which is why I make very few cakes per year. I fly about 100,000 miles/year - both internationally and domestically. Any London based bakers want US products let me know! I travel to the UK about every other month.
