for a minute...i actually felt sorry for you.
and then when i kept reading i couldn't stop laughing.
hi...my name is diane.
Hi my name is Kathy and I need help. I lurk on here for hours, contemplating my next cake.
Between the cakes, cookies and cuppies I think my head is going to explode and all that is going to come out is buttercream frosting and fondant animals .
Wouldn't have it any other way
My husband has finally decided "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em." No, he doesn't help in the kitchen (thank goodness--the man can't run the microwave). But he is very proud of telling people he has the most important job of all--QUALITY CONTROL!!!! LOL! He happily disposes of all my cake scraps, practice goodies, and general disasters. The kids love to join him. (I leave leftover frosting right in the deco bags and they decorate cake scraps for their desserts.) He'll come home from working and ask me if I screwed anything up for him. What a guy! *sniff* Getting rid of the evidence before my customers have a chance to see it. *sniff, sniff* I'm such a lucky girl!
Hee, Hee--I love this post!
Welcome to our little corner of the institution. You will like it here. We are your fellow cake addicts and like you, our families have disowned us - but only until we make some cakes - and then they welcome us to the fold, until we start spending some more time on CC with our little CC addict friends. We have you in our evil little clutches and we shant let you go. Welcome.
Happy Caking,
Em
Don't feel bad Maryj. Yes. I too am addicted. I almost hurt myself last night trying not to laugh at the cake mix comebacks and the hypoglcemic dog! My DH was asleep in the next room. And tonigght you guys have me ROFLMAO !! Cake Porn...nothing butter!!! I'm getting THAT tat. And I really seriously, . . . I think I pulled something when I read what blazer wrote; no internet...lol
Hi, I'm Nancy and I'm a CC and cake addict! I do not want to give it up, I do not want treatment, I do not want help from the outside. All of my therapy comes from my wonderful fellow addicts. I love each and every one of you and thank you for all of your help and support. DH understands my addiction and benefits from my creations. He brags to everyone about me and how my friends here have helped me so much. He understands that you guys are true and faithful friends and that I wont give even one of you up!
OK I was on the net this am @ 5:00 and hubby getting ready for work asked what are you doing are you looking at cakes? no I am checking the weather for you I answer OK I was looking at cakes!!! can't help it
Oh yeah...I almost forgot...my drug of choice is powdered sugar!!
nothing like the smell of powered sugar and butter in the morning, aahhhh
I'm probably the one that was mentioned about joining in 2006 and saying i'm new, but I really am! I signed on here looked at the page once, and I forgot to favriote the website then after a long time I remembered about this site, found it, but I forgot my sign-in and password. I don't have a business either...yet. But I do like looking at everyone creations and am glad I have a place to see what it's like having a cake business from the inside.
cake porn, there is nothin' "butter"
lol! love it!
cake porn, there is nothin' "butter"
lol! love it!
Soon we'll recognize each other as we pass on the streets, sporting our "Cake porn, there's nothing butter" slogans and a picture of our favorite cakes tattooed on our arms. lol
My name is Sue and I am addicted to Cake Central, and proud of it!!! Whenever I am on the computer my family doesn't even ask anymore what I'm doing - they know I am getting my CC fix. My husband calls this site "Crack Central" because I'm so addicted and can never get enough.
There is no going back! The withdrawal pain you will experience when CC is down is terrible!!!!!
Holy cow, that's so very true!!!! If the site goes down or for some reason my server isn't working right, I can definitely feel it. (And it's usually on a day when I really need it, too, darn the luck!)
Welcome to CC, and just embrace the addiction. It's much easier that way...
The worst for me is that I can't log on at home...the computer just freezes up. So I race into work early each morning so I can sit and check CC. NOTHING but CC gets me out of bed early!
I'm another newbie lurker addict! It's tough for us to post comments when we have to go back and read all of the previous posts. With all the time I spend reading and learning, there isn't much time for posting! I don't think I'll ever catch up, but I sure love trying! I love CC and you guys are all so amazingly talented!
My name is Sandra and, alas, I too suffer from the addiction to CC. It has gotten so bad, that I had to turn my monitor around at work so no one could see what I'm doing. One day, a friend came by and said, "you must be working on a BIG project, I've heard you pounding away at the keys for hours". True, but little did she know that I was on CC looking at cakes and reading and responding to posts! At home, when I watch TV with my DH, I have my laptop right where it should be...on my lap....looking at cakes and reading and responding to posts on CC! Oh well, what's the song say........"If lovin' you is wrong, I don't want to be right" That's me!!! Cake on fellow CCers!
OMG!! This is soooo true, I can't stay away from this site anymore! It is addictive, just like cookies, and cakes and chocolate, mmmm
I have now turned a non-baker into a lurker. Right before lunch, a co-worker who lives in another state called but I said he had to be quick, another co-worker and I were going to go sign up for a cake decorating class. (Wilton fondant and gumpaste) So, he finds out that I've made some cakes and he wanted pictures. I go to my photos and send him the link and then, while he has me on the phone, he started looking at photos of eveyone's cake and he was BLOWN AWAY! He saw something about cake addiction and I mentioned cake porn and he thought it was great!
We might have a new addict that isn't even a baker/decorator.
Hi, my name is Vickie....
I too suffer from the addiction to CC. Family is use to it now. They
have become enablers I love it! "You know who is having a birthday? She/He would just love one of your cakes Mom " " Any new recipes?" " What are you going to try today?" With laptop on counter I search... and become oh so excited when I see the number of thread pages have gone up since I was on 5 minutes ago.
Thank you all for feeding my addiction...Keep up the great work.
Okay, off to try whopper cuppies yummy.
Well, I'm just starting (As I say in all my posts) and so far my family loves me. We get a cake a week, and we all sit eat cake and then they attack... Try this, next time do that. Its all great fun, but my house is starting to fall apart. Between, Freecycle, Myspace, and CC I'm ALWAYS on the computer!!!
OMG!! This is soooo true, I can't stay away from this site anymore! It is addictive, just like cookies, and cakes and chocolate, mmmm
Now I'm afraid to start cooking baking. I'll never get back to my prebaby one weight!! LOL!!!
Cake porn..hee hee...
yeah! cake porn...heeheehee eye...cing!
Hi, I'm Ann and I'm definitely a CC addict. I think the funniest stories on this thread are those involving laptops. How much fun is that? Sitting at the TV or on the loo or all the other places mentioned, still hooked up to CC. Honnnnnnnnnney, I need a laptop.
Wouldn't it be great if CC held an "International Cake Conference" for all the sweet members? I think we would all have a ball, sharing stories, swapping ideas and just having a good 'ol time. [/i]
Ok I just looked up the steps to admitting your addiction and it almost seems as though in order to go through a 12 step program you just need to be addicted to the program..."Essentially, the 12 steps involve admitting an addiction, seeking fellowship and support from others with a similar additiction, committing to help other addicts, making restitution with those who were also harmed by addictive behaviors and in many cases, asking for spiritual reconcilliation and direction."
I think we are all off to a great start!!!!
Hello, My name is Christian and I too am a Cake Central addict....
