I have to agree with alot of the previous posters!
My DH gets the brunt of my talking about it all the time. He just says 'uh huh, yeah, ok, sure' and then I accuse him of not listening or caring!!! 
I am thankful every day that I found this place that shares my devotion to making cakes! I love it no matter that I may not be very good at it!
Thank you to all of you for being here! And here's to all the poor husbands and friends who get to listen to us!
I think it's difficult when we get very passionate stuff and others aren't interested. I got berated by my family when I tried my hand at network marketing. I wouldn't stop talking about water filters - BECAUSE I CARE about my family and after i PERSONALLY researched the condition of the water in our country (which I admit is a heck of a lot better than other countries) and what's in it, I really was concerned. I still am..... but I don't sell water filters anymore..... but I still will recommend them b/c I think they are amazing. My shower filter is one of the best things I've ever bought.
Okay now that everyone's bored about that passion..... I've certainly been one to go on and on about something. The other day I was talking to my husband and he mentioned something briefly about one of the kids on American Idol. I asked if he watched the last episode (he was out of town) when he said he didn't I started describing in detail what happened during the show- after a few minutes he said "I just can't talk about American Idol this long"...... hey he brought it up!
However if he starts talking about football or army stuff or coins.... yeah I shut down too. It's just hard to be as passionate about something you're totally not interested in and the other person in the conversation is very passionate about it.
So I completely understand where you're coming from!
My husband is a sports nut. He's been telling me the stats of every freakin player in every freakin sport he can think of for the last 13 years. I figure if I want to talk to him about cake non stop, I've earned the right. I figure I'll shut up about it when we hit the 23 year mark. 
i never thought about it before...but i guess i'm really lucky, my best friend is a cake decorator too....
a couple times a week we go on for hours about cakes new designs ...crazy customers, and everything that goes with it....
on the other hand guess not so lucky...the only DH i have is duncan hinse
First off - LanaC - I love you - that's the best comment ever - I have tears, I was laughing so hard! I have to use that one on my guy!!
trent - I'm sorry that your friends can't be supportive. Yes, I realize that this isn't what they are in to, but if your friends know that it's important to you, they should be a bit more supportive. And the husbands - I feel so bad for gals that don't have the support at home. My husband is awesome - he listens to me talk about everything that I like to do, cakes, stamping, crafts, and he even gives me ideas. He takes pictures of everything I do, and will give me ideas and ask if I've ever thought about doing this or that. And, he always talks me up to his family and friends. It's too bad that some people can't look beyond themselves and see how happy this makes you. Relationships with your spouse/significant others and friends are a give and take thing - everyone has their passions, and want to talk about them. My husband's in to photography, and he just got this new camera. I have no idea how to turn the darn thing on, but I get excited for him, and give him ideas for different things, and we bounce ideas off one another, it's great!
We're all hear for those of you that don't get support at home. Keep your chins up, keep baking, and use LanaC's line and tell the DH's to drown out that mixer with the vacuum. I love it!
And maybe into ourselves too. 
yeah, my husband thinks I talk too much about the whole cake thing, but usually he just listens to me and then laughs saying it is so funny at how excited I get
I try not to ramble on about cakes to anyone but DH. We have a kind of unspoken agreement, that when I start rambling endlessly about cakes, he tunes out and just catches the highlights, and I do the same when he gets going on sports and video games.
He did tell me the other day that if I ever wanted to have a home based business, he wanted to learn how to do the basics so he could help me. I nearly fell off the couch.
