Ok I know this is a weird one but i'm in need of a good laugh and kinda wanted to see where this went..I'm curious if anyone else notices these things we do because of our work as a cake decorater..



You know your a cake decorater if you "pipe" your toothpaste on your toothbrush..

You know you are a cake decorator when you can look at anything and wonder "How can I make it into a cake?" or "How can I use it to make a cake?"

You know you are a cake decorator when you walk by the dessert aisle in the grocery store and compare their cake decorating skills to yours (and almost forget that you're there to buy groceries!).

I put this in the other post as well...but I'll say it again:

You know you're a cake decorator when you're watching tv/show/movie and you spot a cake- all your attention goes to the cake!

I was at Target tonight, and as I walked past the childrens' clothes on the way to get a pack of diapers, my only thought upon seeing all the pretty Easter dresses was "wow, THAT would make a nice cake!...."oooh, so would that!...."wonder if I could pull off that in fondant?..."

You know you're a cake decorator when you're at your friends baby shower, and you're wondering if the topper on the cake is fake or fondant. So you touch it with a fork, just to see. And get caught.

lol they understood though icon_smile.gif

or. You know you're a cake decorator when you are playing with your niece. And you make a beautiful rose out of the playdough. And actually get a little protective of it when she tries to grab it out of your hand.

Eventually, I gave it up. And she smooshed it. haha.

I posted this one a while back, but it was football season and, as I rounded the corner, I noticed beautiful white stringwork on my neighbor's bushes. Well, okay, so it was actually toilet paper -- but it was draped very nicely!! icon_redface.gificon_lol.gif

Guilty here also. It drives my husband crazy! lol
I also have the habit that when I go to a wedding as soon as I get to the reception area I seek the cake out and take pictures of it and stand there and study it over for 5 minutes. The last time my Mom was next to me and someone was watching me I guess with a weird look on their face and she just explained, "She decorates cakes." lol

You know you are a cake decorator when your toddler can distinguish fondant from bread or cookie dough, knows how to use ribbon cutting tools, and a fondant smoother!

When my son was 18 months old we were in a hospital cafeteria where there were different stations and one was a dessert station with cupcakes on display. My son points to the glass and says "buttercream"! I was so proud!! icon_lol.gif

You know your a cake addict when you are playing cowboys or army with your grandchild's toys and think...huh, if I had a cowboy or army cake these would work out ok. Or you are in Michaels or Hobby Lobby taking pictures of various patterns with your cellphone and a store employee asks if they can help you with something...kinda embarrassing...but you don't really care cause, hey, it will look good on a cake.

My son had to go to the doctor. While we were waiting I was thinking about my daughter's cupcakes. I looked at the plastic tips they use to put on the thing to look in kid's ears... they are in a dispenser on the wall.... and thought.... this would be the perfect tip and if I take some they can all help me with the flowers- so I stole 2 tips. Yes, I really did.
