You Know You're A Cake Deco Addict When:
Decorating By SophieBelle Updated 21 Jul 2007 , 2:51am by mccorda
If a cop was to come through my house they would swear I sell drugs from all of the powder sugar that hides in the knooks and crannies of the kitchen. (no matter how much I scrub and clean I always find some)
you sneeze in technicolor.
People on CC I talk to more than my "normie" friends.
You get insulted if someone doesn't ask for a cake for an event.
Even though you don't have time you are reading all the pages to this thread!
You know you're an addict when you spend an hour reading other people's posting about their addiction.
this has been absolutely halarious...and I relate.
You know youre a cake decorating addict when you hear someone talking in the distance in a store about an upcoming wedding, and kinda mosey nearby, smile, say hello, so a little small talk.. and ask "so, who's doing the wedding cake?"
When you watch a 30 min wedding show just to see the wedding cake... for like 4 secs!
... you've inhaled so much powdered sugar making buttercream and mmf that you blow out frosting! (sorry, it had to be said...)
When you watch a 30 min wedding show just to see the wedding cake... for like 4 secs!
And you madly scan through wedding magazines at the grocery store checkout, looking for the 3 or 4 cake pictures.
LOL - I had a cake decorator come up to me at Walmart to ask if I had a cake decorator while I was looking at the wedding magazines. ROFL
When you walk around Home Depot and see a pretty design on a piece of furniture and wish you had a piece of paper and a pen to quickly copy it and try on a cake later, it probably means you are a cake addict.
Oh - you know you are a cake addict when you have a cake planned for your one year anniversary of cake decorating.

A cake decorating anniversary cake?! Now that is a serious problem!
Nadya - I bought a small digital camera for my purse just for this reason. LOL
Rachel
You choose the state you move to based on their home baking laws.
Now this is my kind of addiction! Count me in on this one!

What a great idea, how come I haven't thought about it. I quess I could use my DH's cell phone camera next time I wonder if it would be appropriate to stop someone at the store with something pretty on their t-shirt and ask them if I could take a close picture of that
Home baking laws- yep! We have a written list of states we are willing to move to. If home baking is not allowed, the state isn't allowed.
...when you dream about designs and wake up at 2am to put them down on cake then sneak back to bed. Then your husband wakes you at 7 wondering when the heck you did this?!?! (true story)
i have done the same ...... just realised i am a cake deco addict too.
when you wake up at 2 a. m. from a dream about a cake and you go on CC to see if anybody else has done it and is it even possible. OR You'd rather stay home to practice making better tasting cakes then go to Outback with your husband in fear of eating too many of those fried onion thingys in fear of GAINING WEIGHT?????? lol makes no sense. Gotta be a cake addiction

I like that one. Where can I go to find that info?
Here's another one that I did last night at 2 AM
You don't want to get up to write down a cake idea, so you pick-up your husbands cell phone that's charging next to the bed, dial your cell phone that's charging in the livingroom, and leave yourself a voicemail.
Here's the list that you can use to create a home bakery state list:

Thanks Rachel. Oh yeah ,you're definately an addict!!!
You received flowers last night, and sti here this morning tearing them apart for gumpaste studies.
(Mini carns have at least 25 petals, and 5 points on the green petal wrap, and three layers of green before getting to the actual stem.)
....you go to work when you are actually sick so you can save your sick days for when you need to make a cake.
You repair nailholes in your walls with royal icing.
OMG!!!!!!!! I am rolling! I painted every single wall and piece of trim in my new 1700 sq ft Ranch, so every single ding in the wall/trim just bugs the crap out of me!!! Can't wait to make cookies!!
...........Gotta read the rest of this thread!
You pay $7 for dessert at a restaurant and after the second bite, you think "mine's so much better"!!! and grin pleasingly while you eat the rest!!! (yup! did this 3 days ago)

This doesn't make you an addict... this makes you a GENIUS!! (Albeit a lazy one! Hehehe!)
Whew! Read all 12 pages!!!
Got 2 more:
...Your 8 year old son asks for an army tank cake with sparklers and shoots bottle rockets out the top.....and knows you'll do it.......then afterwords, asks if next year we can blow up the whole cake.......and knows you'll do it!! (will download pic after I get a copy from grampa's camera)
...You show up at a friend's house for dinner with no dessert and you see them actually frown in disappointment! You explain you were painting all day, and they ask when your next "practice" cake will be!
You can't wait for your parents, whom you work for, to go out on an errand, job or lunch so you can log on to CC to see new ideas and read this post !!
You get excited when you see a new member and they have that little "www" button so you can look at even more cakes
LOL - thanks Melvira!
I thought it was pretty smart too. now I have to make the cake... which will have to wait til after the move. So I saved the message to my inbox.

I sort of did that when I was requested by a college coach to do some volleyball cookies for her. I didn't have any graphics for them and she was wearing a volleyball shirt. I grabbed my camera and took a photo of her shirt....lucky for me she is also a neighbor. I not sure if I would have the guts to stop a complete stranger. I guess it depends on how cool their tee shirt was
oh oh oh when you buy something at the cake store and smugle it in the house like contraband
I do that all the time!! I have to bribe the kids with a candy or sodo to distract them!!! LOL
