Decorating By Sassy74 Updated 31 Dec 2009 , 9:57pm by moxey2000
Awesome Merry Christmas!! I got an Emerald Red KitchenAid mixer for Christmas from my brothers 
DH got me some little baking accesories I had wanted.
What are the Magic Line pans? Sorry, I'm a newbie
I got some hexagon pans and more square cake pans from my mom, Ace of Cakes and Mix Doctor book from the kids. My husband gave me a membership to the gym since I've put on some weight since I took up decorating but that's what I asked him for so I'm excited Now I can enjoy the cake more when I sample it
Best Wishes for the New Year Everyone!
I got The Cake Bible and the pastry tips from Bake It Pretty (I got those myself, though). DH got me the Stargazer Lily DVD by tonedna (I squealed when I opened that one!) and the metal ball tools she sells as well.
I'm kindof tinkering with the idea of doing a Julie & Julia type of thing with The Cake Bible (but with a MUCH looser timeline).

Ooh, lots of your gifts sound great! I got a big set of 2nd hand cake decorating supplies from ebay right before xmas, which my partner paid for (about $250 worth of stuff which I scored for $25 - yay!), and I also stumbled upon a brand new electric chocolatier set in an op shop which was tagged at $9 but we were donating so the guy gave it to us for $6. It retails for $50, so I was very happy!
For actual xmas I got a huge stainless steel cake pedestal with a perspex dome (because I had a porcelain one with a glass dome and my eldest daughter managed to break the glass dome. It's been 3 years and I'm amazed the pedestal is still standing!) I also got a bunch of other cool stuff (brand new BBQ and market umbrella, huge mirror, and tickets to Jane's Addiction!) but that was the cake related stuff. Very pleased indeed!
Wow, lots of great stuff! Last month we bought a mini-van 
It's a GREAT minivan, but its a minvan. So we didn't spend much on each other. But he got me TONS of little stuff from Country Kitchen 
. I couldn't be happier.
I got a Wii with Wii Fit board - I've wanted one for soooooo long! Usually my OH's gift giving leaves a lot to be desired, but he's redeemed himself now! Of course, I have yet to get a look in - my kids have been playing on it constantly lol!
SO got me my first KA (which I've been using already)
I got, Hello, Cupcake book, scraper blade, rolling pin, cake lifter (bought myself one but it's going back)lots of other non cake stuff but that's not important..lol....
I didn't get any cake stuff because the things I need are too specifc and my husband's afraid to get me anything. BUT...I got myself a new camera with Christmas "permission" and I spent all day messing with it. I also got a bunch of chocolates, so that's always good 
WOW, sounds like everyone has made out like bandits this year. I am on my NEW laptop that DH got me. My DD used my other one a little too much and it somehow is now full of viruses. I hate that; so this one she will not be allowed on.
DH also got me a printer for edible images so now I need to order the ink and sheets. YEA! That will come in handy for the "Free Kakes for Kids".
Every Christmas my DH always gives me a coupon (homemade) for my room at the ICES convention every year. That always seems to be my greatest expense when attending and I just love that he picks up the tab. So I save my own money for the toys!
My Mom and Dad sent me a check for $250.00 to buy something and I can't decide if I want the Wii or a Cricut. What do ya'll think???? I would love the Wii fit system but hubby wants me to join a gym (and actually go). Ha Ha.
For anyone who didnt get what they wanted, I will offer any cake system on my site, only until New years, at 20% off. Please mention this cake thread in the notes and we will adjust the price before shipping. Merry Christmas!
we were short on funds this year so we just bought a lot for the kids but when taxes come back then we will do our christmas shopping for each other.
We have a "Tax Return Christmas" every year also!
With four kids the Christmas budget goes to them and hubby and I just wait until we get the tax return .
Someone in my church (don't know who, it was anonymousl) gave me a pink KA mixer and a set of pink cake pans. The KA looks great next to my pink toaster and pink microwave (I guess I don't need to say what my favorite color is 
). My parents gave me a cakebook and some misc cake supplies. I've only been decorating cakes for two months so I am thrilled to have new "toys" to play and learn with!
lucky ladies...I didnt get anything...I'm just home making my own birthday cake too...
and getting complained why am I not taking care of the baby since he's off for christmas and its his 'OFF DAY'Just want to let you guys know how sweet your husbands are...
((big hugs)) I understand. I make my own birthday cakes too....this year I even asked. I said he could use a straight mix and canned frosting. But the look of fear on his face was *almost* worth it.
This Christmas my DH really surprised me. He brought me an air brush, the large wilton tool caddy and registered me for two classes at the New York Cake Convention (knew we were going, but hadn't registered for any classes). He got double kisses for this! 
I got quite spoiled this year! I am typing on a new laptop from my boyfriend! He also go me the Ace of Cakes book and 2 other cake decorating books. I got a cake lifter, new icing spatulas, all the supplies and boxes to start an herb garden, ANd my family had a chef coat custom made for me. Its pink (my very favorite color) with Zebra lining on the neck and sleeves. I started to cook Xmas dinner in it but its so nice I dont want to get it dirty! I think it will be reserved as my jacket for delivering cakes and set up at catering gigs.
My hubby got me a Dobord (he actually gave me the Dobord before Christmas, so I could use it on my Christmas cookies, and, seriously, I don't know how I ever did cookies without it!) and the family got together and got me the complete set of Sugarshack's DVDs (less the buttercream one, which I got for my birthday earlier this year). WooHoo! I can't wait for some free time to start watching them 
edit for typo... 
i got the Sugarshack Buttercream DVD and i watched it as soon as i had some free time last night! i also got the makins clay extruder (the green one!), a super cute cookbook from my youngest niece, and a really pretty cake pedestal/dome.
that's it for caking (man, i feel like i got nothing compared to all of you!). i also got some of the coolest slippers EVER (they look like giant sneakers ), a really pretty buddha shadowbox, a new down comforter (mine has been leaving hundreds of feathers all over the place for 3 years!), alfred hitchcock masterpiece dvd collection!!!!, and an ice cream maker for my KA!!
and the best gift of all: the exact betty boop blanket that my grandma had. it was her favorite. we all snuggled with it the night she passed. and now i have my very own to snuggle with every night
Becuzimagirl, I'm so sorry that your Christmas wasn't all it could have been. But, chin up girl! Happy birthday!
Helsbels, a sugar pulling station sounds awesome!
MikeRowesHunny, I got a Wii Fit, too. Maybe we can work off some of these Christmas goodies???
Wow, some of y'all got things I never even thought to ask for. Now I have all kinds of ideas for my b'day in Jan!
Hubby and I agreed to NO gifts this year as we bought a trip to Cancun for the family. But SANTA brought me the 90 year edition of the KA. Shame on him! Santa brought him a t-shirt, guess he was naughty!!!
I have a KA already, but this one has the clear bowl! Must bake cookies today! Going to give my other KA to my little bro, and he is going to buy me the pasta attachment for the new one, I think that is fair?

Umm, yeah - I think that's a given! Mortified when I set up my Mii and it officially declared me obese and made the little woman into a big round blob! My first goal is to get her down into the 'overweight' category! A BMI of around around 26-27 will suit me just fine. I'm quite muscular and large-framed (yes, really!), so any lower than that and I look ill! I prefer to go by clothing sizes anyway. Currently wearing a US 12-14, and I'd be happy (as a 38 yr old mother of two, who does a fair bit of exercise, so is not horrendously unhealthy), to be a US 8-10. It did give me a Wii fit age 8 years younger though, so not all bad!
We got a wii fit together as a family!! It is awesome!!
My hubby fixed my kitchen garbage cabinet that my youngest used like a jungle gym .
I had cake supplies on my list but hubby tried not to buy them for me for Christmas cuz it is for the business not for me.

That is so funny and too sweet of "Santa".
Becuzimagurl Happy Birthday!
We haven't given each other CHristmas gifts in several years, but he suprised me with "Mastering the Art of French Cooking". I was really surprised and touched. I've been wanting that book since I was about 8 YEARS OLD!!!! Don't ask me why I've never bought it. I guess God new I was ment to get it from my DH for Chrsitmas.
I didnt get any cake realted gifts, I have alot of that (did I just say that??) LOL
The one thing I do need is an airbrush, hopefully I'll get one for my b-day in Feb.
Anyway, what I did get was this new laptop I'm typing on right now, a sephora makeup case (love makeup) and a burberry hand bag!!!! My fiance is the best he always gets me great Christmas gifts, it's like a competition and he always wins....
Thanks everyone for the sweet words and birthday day wishes! so touched
though I have to say my birthday is on December 31st
just making it ahead of time because I do have the '6' now 7 month old baby to take care of...
People always forget my birthday because they all busy with partying or clubbing on New Years Eve...so this year I'm having cake no matter what...at least I have my baby to celebrate it with!! Now I cant say I dont have a present because my baby is the greatest gift I'll ever receive from my husband...
Merry Christmas and Happy New YEars to all the great CC friends here!
enjoy your new toys!
Well, I got LOTS of nice stuff for Christmas, but the cake-related ones are:
My DH gave me an early present of a class at Cakegirls in Chicago in early December. He also told me to go on globalsugarart.com and pick out anything I wanted -- no limit!!! I guess he trusts me not to be too greedy
My daughter made me some beautiful cupcake wrappers out of scrapbook paper. She also printed me my own "business cards" -- they say "Cakes for a Cause . . . made by Julie Stone to benefit the People's Resource Center." Then, they have a beautiful tiered-cake stamp and the address and website of the charity.
becuzimagirl, I live right outside of Chicago. If you ever need some cheering up, contact me. There's nothing I love more than babies and talking about cakes!
