Ok, as a way of not continuing to jack someone else's thread any further lol I started a new thread. Basically jenng1482 started a thread talking about how she was getting her braces tightened and wondered if the wires would be good for using in cake, since they're obviously food safe since they're in her mouth!
It made me think of the "you might be a redneck" thing...only about the crazy things as "cake addicts" that we all do that most people would think were odd.
So here are the few from the other thread that were already started, feel free to add any quirky things you find yourself doing! lol
If you get your wires for your gumpaste add ons from your orthodontist.............. you might be a cake decorator!
If you look at kleenex boxes for cake designs..............you might be a cake decorator!
If you buy papertowels to emboss your buttercream...youuuuuu might be a redneck
If you buy a 6ft. length of pvc pipe for $3, so you can cut it into 18 rolling pins..............youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu might be a redneck!
KH, I love it, though it should be "... you might be a cake addict."
if you steal your kids playdo toys (only the new ones, with no kiddie germs on them,lol for fondant, you might be a caker.
If you buy papertowels to emboss your buttercream...youuuuuu might be a redneck
to take this one a step further
If you spend HOURS (seriously, hours!) looking at all the different patterns ON the paper towels before making your selection on which brand to buy..............then you SERIOUSLY might be a cake addict!
I've got to add that "if you watch the figure skating during the Olympics and instead of watching the skating, you comment that their costume would make a cool design on a cake...you might be a cake addict."
If you cant stop logging on to cake central at work at least 10 times a day so you don't miss anything........... then go home and spend at least 2 hours a night looking around....... then you might be a cake addict........... IT'S ME, IT'S ME, IT'S ME........I AM A CAKE ADDICT AND DARN PROUD OF IT.
If you buy shelf liner just for the imprint it would make on fondant.....you might be a cake addict.
If you spend more time on CC discovering new ideas and saving them, than you ever spend actually decorating, then....you might be a CC addict!
Does this mean if I spend all day on cc and everything I look at makes my brain start tumbling and brain storming wow i could use that for cakes ( and I mean everything my grandsons toys, anything that has texture , flowers, and anything else i see!! does that mean Iam a cakaholic!! I LOVE IT I NEED IT I WANT IT WOO HOOO
if your dh has to drag you out of Lowes, while your looking at every screw for a fondant design you might be a cake addict
If you find yourself eating a candy bar wondering if it would make a good cake flavor.......you might be a cake addict
If you prefer a new cake toy over jewelry, shoes, and purses, you might be a cake addict!
May I add....
When your hubby tells you lets go to the market Im going to take the car out, dont forgert to grab a bottle (for my baby)
And you dont bother to leave the computer and they are sitting in the car waiting........waiting..............and waiting till he calls you on the cell,
Hubby: "what are you doing"
Me: replying "Im getting the babys bottle ready " (while still sitting in the computer)
Hubby: "We are leaving"
Me: "I will be right there I over heated the milk " (me turning my computer off)
So this is sad/ but true, happends often lol !!!.
You must certaintly be a cake addict
And please dont bash me, or start saying I neglect my boys it's just when hubbys home its my time and I spend alot of time here in the evenings And Im in and out during the day
<----------------If you know more about power tools than your DH ALL because you HAD to have a cupcake stand and were too cheap to buy one already made....................you might be a cake addict!! lol (I learned how to use a jigsaw, a power sander, and a drill...and I know what a t-nut is!)
If you called into work saying you were running late...because you got on cake central and totally lost all track of time you might be ME...or a cake addict !!
When you are supposed to be writing a paper for a university class and it takes 5 times as long as it should because you're constantly checking out CC.....you might be a cake addict!!
If you spend more time on CC discovering new ideas and saving them, than you ever spend actually decorating, then....you might be a CC addict!
Yep that is me!
If you cleaned out your pantry of your families food and small appliances to make room for all your cake toys...you might be a cake addict!!
If the only thing you could think of when ask what you would would like for Christmas was........ New CAke Toys..... And you didn't even have a cake to bake.... you just wanted to play with the toy..... you are a cake addict
If you have 36 cupboards and drawers in your kitchen and realize that only 6 have NON-CAKE related items............AND the spare room your step daughter USED to sleep in when she visits over the summer is FILLED with cake supplies...................................youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu might be a cake addict!!!
Here are my contributions...
When you go through the new Southern Living magazine just to look at the pretty flowers and wonder how hard it would be to make them and how they'd look on a cake....
When you get rid of your shoes because you discover that your shoe shelves make excellent shelves for stacking cake pans on (after I cleaned them, of course)....
Yes, I really did do this one. It's a wonderful space saving device because the shelves stack so nicely...
If you take a picture of your mom's new throw blanket thinking it would make a great cake design.....you might be a cake addict!
if your entire kitchen has a thin layer of powdered sugar on every surface and inside every crevice => cake addict.
lol I can totally relate to taking photos of things for cake designs..........you should see me in the gift wrap aisle! I know people think I'm nuts!
if you keep checking this thread every 5 seconds like I do, you might be a cake addict
I love this thread, I am glad I am not alone. My aunt make home-made x-mas decorations for everyone in the family... Last year, I began the same tradition....lol
When everyone gets CAKE from you, no matter the occasion.........You might be a cake addict.
if while the children are watching a dvd you keep pressing pause so you can look at all the different characters to work out how to make them out of fondant (trying to take the picture and separate it into the simple shapes needed)
and then "practicing" them, EVEN WHEN YOU DONT HAVE A CAKE TO MAKE THEM FOR!! you might be a cake addict!
and yes i do this all the time! lol

GUILTY, GUILTY, GUILTY of all three and more. I am so glad to know that I am not alone with my addiction. And I go to sleep almost every night thinking about cakes and decorating in my mind - no wonder I am so tired in the morning. This has been going on for over a year - ever since I discovered CC! And what a wonderful day that was - hummm......
My DH has become a cake snob - who would have thought - he critiques other peoples cakes and MINE! He can answer almost any question about baking cakes, leveling, stacking, fondant, gumpaste flowers, etc. He knows who IndyDebi, Jennifer MI, SugarShack, CakePro, and Bobwonderbuns are. I can send him to the grocery store with a list of cake supplies and he now comes back with the correct items!!
Peridot: Im working on this one lol !!!

I can just see him and my dh meeting up at Michael's sharing a coupons.
My dh is a cake snob also.
Just thought of another that i have done,
if you pass on an invite to a girls night out, child free and the first for a year, so that you can play with fondant and make some trial recipes.....you might be a cake addict!
i think i have problems! lol
When even the neighbors don't want anymore cake, cause you just keep making them to play, but don't want to actually eat them yourself! You might be me...I mean a cake addict.
