You are probably talking about me. I'm sorry if I upset any members or confused you. I joined cake central on Feb 3 as a suggestion from my Wilton Class Instuctor here in Chicago. When I finished my level 3 cake I was really proud of it and wanted to share it. That week I found out I was chosen as a finalist for a contest I entered to host a PBS TV show so I decided when I post my cake I would ask for support. In these last two weeks I have posted 3 cakes I've made, answered questions, posted templates. The video I made for the Real Savvy Mom audition had to be under 2 minutes and even my mom wondered why I didn't mention my decorating but I just had to make choices and there was a lot of stuff I didn't have time to mention. I love this community and website and plan to be a member for years to come. Again, thank you if you helped me and I'm sorry if I confused or offended anyone.
Respectfully.
Janine Greff

I agree-- when I first read that post, I was kind of put off, because I was like who is this person? I've never seen her on here before and she wants us to vote for her. Well stupid me clicked on the link and was automatically taken to the other site and it said "thanks for voting for this person"-- I was like I just voted?? I didn't want to vote!!! I just wanted to neb- around. I did feel USED-- but I did check out her cosmetic website -- becuase I was in need of some new lipstick- and I asked her for a discount for cake central members-- (kind of getting her back!--) She did give a discount-- but I'm still waiting for the products in the mail-- we'll see.

I understand what you mean. I did feel taken advantage of.

I also feel unprepared to post any of my pictures becuase I am so new to this cake decorating. But I certainly LOVE all of the warm friendly people and great advice I have received!! It has been a great learning site for me!!!! I hope one day I can feel confident enough that my cakes look as nice as everyone elses.


Gotta run and make my icing for my final cake for Wilton Course 2 tonight.

oh! I am super blonde and so didn't get it.....Why didn't you spell it out for me. Morphogirl is a cc user. I voted for her. Had no problems with it. In cake business everybody says how do you get the word out? She did exactly what all of do. Try every avenue to get her product out. Granted in this case her product is herself.
I'm still backing her up and hope she wins. You go girl. Work it!
P.S. Can I have a free make-over for this plug? Just joking! No I'm not my address is 1234 Bullshit lane, tucson, Az

That was very admirable of you to say that. I can't speak for others, but I can say, the way you came on the site was a bit shady. We welcome everyone here, and are happy you plan to stay, but look at it from my point of view. You are very talented and I hope you do well with the show.

I am not a HATER icon_confused.gif I just don't like feeling used.

With that said, WELCOME TO CAKE CENTRAL! icon_biggrin.gif

Well, I am really glad that you all got it worked out a little bit, and that Morpho is sticking around! And I'm glad that you are all damned to the servitude of the QUEEN!!! BWAHAHAHAHA. Ooh, did I say that last part out loud? Shoot. I always screw it up, right when I'm about to conquer!

So queen is below or above president?

I think we should say it's above, because if it's below, then the President has to sit around all the time looking over his/her shoulder worrying about whether the Queen is just sick enough to live up to the barely veiled threat on his/her life. Hehehehe.

When I watched this....video the person in question never once made mention to her cake decortating hobby. Her.....posts....to me....never held water. Catch what im saying? Her posts were.....hmm....how do I say this...they seemed...fake. Make sense, lol!?

Anyway...moving on.....I loved that Kris_813 was so vague. Thats the polite thing to do. Had it been me starting this thread.....lol I would have used names...links...the whole nine!! =)




This is exactly what I was thinking of. I felt kind of betrayed when I clicked on the video to watch it and all of the sudden I had voted. I don't like voting for people that I don't know.

I do have a question about posting pictures. My picture sizes are large, how do you make the picture size small enough to post? I would love to post pictures but can't figure this out.

Because of this thread I posted my first picture. To tell the truth I was and still am a little I intimidated not because of anything said, but because of the incredible talents here. I am a novice in every sense of the word. I have never taken any courses because non are offered in my area. When I was introduced to CC I was so excited to see so much great work and to have so much knowledge available. I greatly appriecate all the help and encouragment I have gotten hereicon_smile.gif

Photofiltre is a free download program that Lisa told me about and I love. It is really easy to resize the pictures. You just to to "image" then "image size" and type in 800 x 600 pixels and it should go into any post you make in a topic on here .. hope this helps and let me know if you need any help icon_smile.gif

Um...powdered sugar cannot be blamed for my problems Nancy! You're the regular kind of silly... I'm the kind they usually try to medicate! Kidding!

Oh, and that reference to killing the president was definitely a joke. I wanted to clarify that because a couple of guys in dark suits have been sitting on my lawn! icon_wink.gif

Bril,

I was intimidated when I first got here and then I thought they had to start out at one time too.

I became friends with a member and we pm'd back and forth and had some laughs. I got around to looking at her site and totally blew me away.

I told her I don't know why she even bothered with me because she is soooo good. She laughed.

I'm just glad I got to know her before I saw how good she was.

Oh don't be intimidated! I recently saved a cake to my favorites that was posted by a "novice". The quality wasn't Colette Peters (but who on here is?) but the idea was so unique and cool that I want to try it for my son-in-law's birthday! That's whats great about this site .... everyone learns new stuff from everybody .....

And we get a little Comedy Channel from Melvira! icon_lol.gif

I'm so excited, my daughter just asked me to do her daughter's Christening cake.

Some of you who remembers stories of my DD knows what an honor this is (she wants only the best). Then again she may have ran out of money.

Sorry, this isn't the place to post but had to tell someone.

Congrats! You know this seems to just be a great day for everyone I know. Well, not that I KNOW you, but you know what I mean. I got a call this morning saying that my daughter was accepted to the private preschool we were trying to get her into and another saying that my grandma is doing well after her heart surgery.

Congratulations Janette.
I am new to this site. Its been 7days since i joined, i've been on holiday since i joined so I havent had as much time on the site as i would have liked but i did upload 2 photos today that i finished last night. I do have to say that i too am feeling alittle bit intimidated, not just by the wonderful out of this world cakes but also alittle by the comunity, Its silly but i feel abit like the new kid at school but i am trying, i think its a confidence thing on my part. I hope to stay with this site forever. I really love it
