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. icon_lol.gif

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!

And you madly scan through wedding magazines at the grocery store checkout, looking for the 3 or 4 cake pictures.

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. icon_smile.gif

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 icon_biggrin.gif 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 icon_redface.gif

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 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

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:

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!

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 icon_lol.gificon_lol.gificon_lol.gif
