I am a new member and just completed my first paid Wedding.  I just wanted to thank the forum contributors...those asking questions and those answering!  The advice and suggestions were dead on

as I tackled the unsuspected bumps in the road.  From advice about the best icing for hot weather, to support for cakes doomed to travel the pot holes of a gravel road, to how to get those cakes beautifully level and smooth as a baby's bottom.  You all rock!  Thank you so much to Cake Central for such a wonderful outlet to share our passion for cakes!

AWelcome to the squirrel-cage, and look out for the nuts (myself included). I see you've already figured out that you've stumbled into an international forum populated by a mix of high-end professionals, chain-store professionals, advanced amateurs, ham-handed beginners, and everything in between.
