Our house burned down 2/9/06 and I have LOST all of my cake stuff. You know, you really don't realize all the cake things you have and the amount of money put into all your tips, colors, pans, and ect until something like this happens. We are having to write every little thing down for insurance purposes. I had two cakes I was suppose to do coming up and I had to call and cancel those. As of right now, cake pans and cake supplies are out of reach until we get our home supplies back together again. I didn't even get to up load my last four cake pictures. I lost my camera too. 
Well, I know that we are greatful that we were not at home whenever it happened and we have each other and that is all that matters right now.
Please just keep me and my family in your prayers. We don't know where the path is leading us right now, but we are trusting in the Lord and just following him day by day.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I've been lucky my whole life, but I've had a few friends who've suffered through house fires. It's devastating, and you don't really realize how much you have until it's gone. At least everyone is ok. Good luck with the road ahead.
I to am very sorry for your loss and am greatful no one was hurt. You and your family are in my prayers
I am so sorry this has happened. Thank God you came out ok. A good reminder for all of us to write down all of our inventory.
Oh ckirkland! I am sooo sorry this happened! Thank God you all were not home at the time! You can replace your things, but not each other!! A few years ago, my husband's business burned down and his truck exploded in our driveway w/in 6 months of each other. I know how devastating a fire is! You're in my htoughts!
It was an electric fire that started in the wall of the kitchen. We pretty much lost everything but the clothes on our back. Monday was my first day back at work and I still have tons of things to do- filling out paperwork for insurance and more.
So very sorry for your loss!!! My brother's house just burned two months ago. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I do have an extra Toba Garrett, Well Decorated Cake book. I ordered two by accident. I know it won't help much, but you do have to start back building your cake supplies somewhere. Just shoot me an address if you like and I'll ship it to you.

You know, come to think of it...I'm certain I have some duplicate tips and extra stuff my husband would be thrilled to see out of the house. I'd be happy to send it your way, if it would help.
Just send me an address.
That goes double for me I'm postive I have some doubles of stuff and would be more than happy to send them your way
Sorry to hear about your loss! How devastating and sad!
You are in my thoughts and prayers! I am so glad no one was hurt! One day at a time and things will get better! Keep us posted if there is anything I can do!
Wow - I am so sorry to hear that. Fire has always been my hugest fear (you should see me bake cakes using those bake-even strips...I swear I check the oven to make sure there are no flames at least once every 2 minutes!)
I have an extra Wilton supply caddy that I've been wondering what to do with - I'll be so glad to send it to you if you'll send me an address.
I can truly sympathize with your loss, I lost a niece and nephew 9 and 12 years old to a dreadful housefire in W. Virginia about two years ago. And as hard as things are, you did escape with the most valuable thing that cannot be replaced. God Bless and you are in our prayers!
I also have duplicated tips and cake pans I can send you just send your address happy to help in any way God Bless.
I am so sorry to hear about this...I'm glad everyone is okay. You sound like an incredibly strong person & that will certainly help get you through this. Your cakes are beautiful & hopefully you will get back to it soon...especially with help from your friends at CC.
How terrible for you and your family. Fire is a very devastating thing. You have no warning, and you loose everything you own in a matter of minutes. As everyone else has stated, Thank God no one was hurt. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
Very sad situation but you have to step back and look at the bright side you still have each other.. Your memories will always be in each others heart so cling to the love and memories you share.
I have duplicates of tips and pans to, be glad to send them your way as well..
Heck if all of us got together and sent one or 2 little items MAN WOW 
you be stocked up in NO time... I know it wouldn't replace your most loved stuff but hey you can call this My new friendship cake era! ... 
I have read several post already of CC friends that could gather a few things here and there. Come on GUYS LET's Help CKIRKLAND get back in the Designing mood!!! 
Just let us know where to send it GF!!
You are in our prayers and thoughts! Stay Strong for yourself and each other!
Oh man 
That sounded like a Jerry Springer conclusion... Sorry didnt mean it that way..lol but hope it made you giggle a little..
Keep us informed on what you need so we dont all send the same things! You still have the pics in your gallery so that will help w/ a new portfolio. Take care and hopefully it will soon be just a memory and you will be back in business.
