I had to share this with all of you. The other day I was checking out some other sites and came across one that was so disgusting that I didn't bother to check it out for more than a couple of minutes. Ok, just want you to know that I was slightly repramanded for my use of the 3 letter word for butt a couple of weeks ago, although it was in a joking manner and I was referring to how some of my cakes look. The moderators were I have to say absolutely right for correcting me as we do have young and older people as well as the fact that we should just use better language. I love this site because it is classy and informative. We have a pretty high level of decorum and integrity. Well, this site I was on was for bakers and it was I thought going to be similar to this one with their forums and info., etc. I couldn't have been more wrong!!!!!!! It was more like a competition for who could use the worst language and what I did see was bashing of some of our decorators and this site. I was quite frankly appalled and disgusted. Don't bother asking me which site it was because I don't want to start a war. I've sort of gone off my focus here. I just wanted you all to know that I for one am so happy to be a part of such a group that can have fun and still have class.

I ditto that!!! CC is a great site!!!

I AGREE! It is really great to know that a fun group like this can have such a great support system! I know that there are all different kinds of clubs and they end up dissipating because of something so silly. I am glad we are not one of those!

And yes, because of all of you...I too have become ADDICTED to this site. THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATES POSITIVELY!

Very nice post and I agree. I have never understood why any cake site would need to use vulgarity in every line of a post. It has nothing to do with cake decorating, and not what I come to a cake forum to participate in.

It seems the last conflicts here have been resolved by people who were creating problems leaving or being asked to leave. It we can just keep it to the friendly forum we have had for the past few weeks it can be an excellent board.

oh! come on! tell us the site! Or at least pm it to me! I WANT TO KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow that is so sad I have never even looked for another cake site since I found CC. I have seen the Wilton one but it was very hard to use IMO. Why would they sit at their board and bash people from here? How odd, must have way too much time on their hands lol. I LOVE it here

It's great to have a site that is friendly and nice words spoken.

I've only been decorating cakes since last April and with the help, advice and useful information that I've found here, I think I will continue to enjoy cake decorating and learning from wonderful people!

/Sigh- yes there is a site that seems to be enjoying their time bashing CC. In fact, I thought one of them was a nice person when I met her in person at some DOS's with in the last year, and now this particular person has decided to cut me down behind my back. And they have tried to stir up trouble here on CC- it just goes to show what kind of people they truly are.
If you go to that site though you will notice that it's numbers are now where near the numbers that we have. It goes to show that positive people rule!
The moderators and site admins will continue to keep this place running positive and staying safe.

WHAT SITE IS IT?????????????

I SOOOOOOOO want to know!

Thanks for saying that. I have been a member for a while, but was just looking. I have started to read the forum and I really enjoy them. My DH comes into our office and says "oh! on that site again" So yes I am addicted! Sometimes a 5 or 3 yr old is sitting with me checking out cakes! Then they want it.
I appreciate how we are able to help each other out and be able to vent here and there.
I feel it so important that it's is a positive way. Even when there is a little "devil's advocate" advice being used... sometimes it is needed.

I really enjoy this site and even the DH and my 2 little boys thinks the cakes everyone makes are great.

Like all of you I do not agree that people should be putting other people down or using "fowl" language!

So thank you all of you for keeping it clean and to the moderators for keeping us in check.

You have all been a great inspiration.

Merci Beaucoup! Thank you!

I have to agree. Since I found this site I have had no desire to go anywhere else. Having been a member of a mommy's board for four years now I KNOW how nasty people can get over the silliest things. I love coming here and knowing that the nastiest people HERE are tame in comparison to what I've seen. They do a good job of keeping everyone in check, and everyone here is soo nice and helpful!

I'm humored by the idea that there is the other site out there talking trash (so to speak) about this site.
It's like the ONLINE version of West Side Story!

Very funny. (yet incredibly silly)

Yep, CC is the best of the best....fantastic members, admins. and mods!!!!

Sorry to be a bumber. Why can't each site keep to themselves and not judge the other.

We like what we like and shouldn't judge what we don't. We stay here and they stay there and not talk about one another.

Who cares what other sites say about us. I for one KNOW this is a great site and has wonderful people. That is why I'm here and will stay here. I have enough stress in my life that I don't need to go to a forum that upsets me.

I think it is very childish to put down another forum and if they want to do that about us then they must have a very sad and dull life.

To me, cakes are all about FUN! I don't want to make it about anything else!

I have to agree. This site has been nothing but helpful and friendly for me.
I cannot believe that other people would choose to freely bash some of the decorators from here. The few times that i have seen rude-ness ect has disgusted me. But I have always considered it an exception to the norm.

Cheers guys and gals. Thanks for everything

I agree with Janette. To each his own. Although....it is kind of weird that there are these battles between the cake sites.
Can we get back to the cakes now?

I love this site...you all have saved my cakes..lol..many times. Love it that it is clean and I don't have to worry about my children getting on when I am not around...Thanks mods for taking care of the things that are not good...

Cheers to you all!

That's weird that people on another site would even care about this site. They're probably jealous that their site doesn't get as many participants as this one because this one is so well-run.

I'd like to know what this site is but I understand not giving it the attention.

you know.....since we're talking about the integrity of this site.....I couldn't help but notice that Duff Goldman from Charm City Cakes directs the visitors to his shop's website to Cake Central and even makes a comment about the helpful people here. I don't notice him doing that to other cake forums.
That alone speaks for itself.

I deleted all the posts in this thread involved in questioning the intentions of a specific poster in the thread.

If someone has a concern about the intentions of a member on CC, I would prefer that the concern be brought to Jackie or I via PM rather than having accusations made publicly around the forum.
