I Can't Help But Be Really Irritated By This...
Lounge By GixxerChick Updated 6 Mar 2013 , 12:56am by jason_kraft
Good grief!! Why am I not surprised? I am so sick of the whiny little babies with entitlement issues! "Boo hoo, I got my widdle bitty pwecious feewings hurted! It's not enough that I come here and asked the damnedest dumbest questions on the face of the earth, and suck the fun out of cakecentral but then I gotta be a tattle tale-ing little bewitch." I have been on here for years and years and and have flagged SPAM!
OMG! I am so flagging this! Those are blatant personal attacks against people with no common sense.
Er - are you licensed to perform that surgery? You know that legal surgeons are going poor because of illegal surgeons like you undercutting (ha!) them.
Also my customer doesn't want me to use a scalpel. They said it has to be a fork or nothing.
True story: I took Wilton classes at Hobby Lobby. The second class of the first series, one of the students was going around giving people her name and number and telling a lady in the wedding isle that she was available to do a wedding cake. I just cringed!

No way!
Agghhh 
pplease don't do this to me, you're hurting my feelings, I love CC and everyone, I love the tutorials, I love all your beautiful pictures, I can only wish, but I will still be a newbie
Okay, I need your BEST recipe for cupcakes with Champagne in them. Or otherwise I have to finish this bottle by myself. Please anyone? Your BEST recipe. NOW!
Your example fails for two reasons:
1) You didn't say "HELP!!!"
2) You used the word "please".
The "NOW!" however was spot on.

No wonder no one HELPS me NOW :( guess I'll keep drinking ;)

Use a box mix and replace the liquid with the booze. Everyone will love it. I am a little appalled at your use of the word please though... Usually the really desperate people don't stoop to being polite.
AHELP!!!
I've fallen and I can't get up. Or perhaps my cake has fallen. Or maybe it's just my bustline.
Whatever it is, I need your help. NOW!!
ALol. I am somewhat a newbie to posting in this forum but not so much a newbie to caking. I totally get why some of the new threads drive you bonkers (the really crazy ones irritate me too). I hope I was never guilty of those when I first started posting!
I am a total newbie to the site, and even I got annoyed at a post asking for "your best recipe" the other day. I would never presume that somebody would just "give" me something. I love googling for recipes or tips. I was a lurker on this site for ages too, looking at different peoples' ideas and picking up the odd hint and tip here and there.
I also have been asked to do a 4 tier wedding cake for somebody next year, which I am pooping myself at, however, I would never dream of coming on here and asking how it's done. I'll instead be treating the family to a number of tiered cakes as I try, try and try again to perfect it - surely that's the idea of baking?
Thank to all the experienced bakers for all their hints and tips, it really is very much appreciated, and I hope one day I can help others!!
It's no wonder you are fallen cake people. You should have asked for HELP in drinking the bottle of champagne. I know, we were too slow with the BEST champagne cupcake recipe but gee wizz you could have waited longer that 2 minutes before you polished off the champagne. Next time really STRESS that you need the recipe RIGHT NOW in your mind before posting and that way the vibes might cross the ether to us and we can send the recipe at the same time as you post.
Wow...I've not been on in a couple days and I come back to 72 comments on my post. I wonder how many people I pissed off?? Well, I better get to reading all of the above...
I for one, am horrified by how callous and rude you all are being! Especially you, GixxerChick (if that is your REAL name!) you start a thread for your hate mongering rather than just ignoring all the stupid questions the precious darlings are untrusting us all to answer? Where is your giving spirit and generosity? Don't you know that since you have paid your dues, learned from other bakers, (since you couldn't possibly have learned anything on your own) that it should your PRIVILEGE and RESPONSIBILITY to PASS THE TORCH to the newbies????
SMDH.....
Funny....As soon as I began reading this, I KNEW it was that sarcastic humor of yours that most people don't get! I love you Annabakescakes!!!! LOL
I can't modify my last post; let me clarify. One wedding cake has to be someone's first wedding cake. Every baker has a first wedding cake. They can start with birthday cakes, etc, but those aren't wedding cakes, you get?
It's perfectly OK for one Wedding cake to be someones first...provided they're not selling it to a bride. Although the first wedding cake I made was pretty good...there's no way in hell I'd ever think of actually selling it...or even giving it to a new Bride on her wedding day!! Just sayin'.
Debating (and in general helping people out on CC and other forums) is how I blow off steam. If having an on-topic debate is against the forum rules you are free to report my posts to the moderators for removal.
Personally, I've always thought that a good, friendly debate is good for the soul. :) It's healthy to see something from someone else's perspective once in a while.
Let's be fair, we all had to learn from somewhere. Some of us use the smart way some use the lazy way, sometimes I use both ( because I can ). One thing the more seasoned bakers should realize about this social media thing is that stupid now has a voice!
Members,
Since there seems to be confusion here, let me set things straight.
This is the Lounge. Off topic discussions, de-railing threads and debates are totally allowed. Your observations about one member or another is allowed. Making a post about your observation about another member is allowed. Just about every post in this thread has been flagged because some of you are taking "personal attacks" to mean anyone disagreeing with you or another member. That is NOT a personal attack.
Some of you are flagging stuff because you've been busted for making a personal attack in the past so now you feel everyone should be busted. I'm not going to tell you not to flag, but don't be surprised if nothing happens because of it.
Bottom line: this is the Lounge. As long as there is no name calling (which is a personal attack) and as long as there is no hostility towards each other, Cake Central, or nameless-faceless people, carry on.
As the original poster of this thread....Is it strange that I take some sort of Pride in this message from the Moderator?? After all, I was just venting.

Let me clarify....my original post was not meant to point fingers at any one particular member or any one particular posting. It was merely to vent my pre-coffee frustrations at "nameless, faceless" posts that I find rather annoying in my said pre-coffee state of mind.
PS - Consider this my Disclaimer.
Ohh and I think a few lobotomies would be more useful than appendectomies at the moment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I take that back. People would then have to look up their own answers rather than expecting you to look them up for them.
I think I'd rather have a bottle-in-front-of-me than a frontal-lobotomy!!!! :)

"Stupid" should learn to google. :)
ABut google wont tell me which recipes are the BEST!
I'm only a beginner and joined to read and learn as I am making my daughter's first birthday cake this week.
I have been shocked at some of the basic questions asked. I'm surprised I haven't come across "I've never baked a cake before but I'm making my own wedding cake and it's for this weekend, can you tell me the best recipe to use and where you buy the tins and how do I get that colourful icing and the cakes all stacked real pretty like, because it's just a cake so it can't be too hard and I don't want to pay someone to make it"
