I leave for what 2 days and now I have almost 20 pages to catch up on!!! You guys are fast. Sunday my little sister graduated from Cal State Fullerton, yay!!! no more helping her with topics for papers ever again! Now we are finishing up all the planning for her big party this saturday. I am making the biggest cake I have ever made for this party, I am a little scared. I hope it turns out well, it's for 120 ppl. We usually only have 70 people over for parties. So now I will try to catch up on what has been going on with all of you. Wish me luck!
Erica
Good Luck neni! Seems like it take forever to catch up on any reading around here!!
Erica, wow that is great! I can't wait to see your cake!
Yeah, Cathy, I am with you: please let me know if you all run off somewhere together. 
I would be in here with my own echo.....echo....echo.... Cathy, my son LOVES Fireman Sam, we just took him to an open house at the FD so I would love to see your helmet cake.
WELCOME BACK CAKE-FREAK!!! We really missed you! We asked about you all the time! Do you miss school yet? Did you get you picture yet of your cake?
Hope all are having a great day... I keep waiting to be told this thread is locked out....I didn't realize there actually are thread POLICE out there, making sure we keep on subject of cake (I read the rules and regulations). Oh-oh. I still hate Wilton Fondant. BUT I am taking the gumpaste class and am very excited about. If you guys PROMISE not to laugh your A@@@ off, I will sometime try to post my lowly cake pictures. Please don't wet yourself laughing at them, though.
Until page 95.....
Good Morning Everyone!!
Sweets - who is Fireman Sam?? I've heard of Pajama Sam (when my kids were little).
Oh, to let everyone know, I did use Wilton Fondant to do my Firefighter Helmet. I bought TONS of the premade color (I needed yellow). 
So I bought 3 4-pks of the neon and 3 of the primary....hopefully I can use those other colors soon! Maybe I'll save the primary for Christmas. I did use some of the blue, so I only have a lot of the green and red. I need to find someone around here that sells some other kind of fondant so that I can try that out! In a couple of weeks I need to do a 3-tier present cake, so hopefully I'll get to use some of that CRAPPY Wilton Fondant on those cakes!
Did I talk about the Wilton fondant enough??!!! 
Talk to you when everyone wakes up and gets babies up and fed (I miss babies 
)
Good Morning all you Wilton Fondant haters....
Whay does it smell like that.... 
Mu DH smelled the cake I made last night in class and was totally grossed out!!!!
I knew that it smelled bad, but I guess I had forgotten after the fondx samples came yesterday.
The Coco outles is sending some too, Monica, maybe I WILL get to try the White Chocolate Rasberry and Carmel after all!!!!
We always fall back on the subject of cake decorating so I'm sure that's fine. I think if we didn't keep the decorating part they may say something.
It' hard not to talk about cakes, I can tell that consumes so much of our lives. That's why we're here on CC.
Freak did you catch up since you've been gone?
Welcome back Cathy and Neni!
I am going to be gone all morning today to my Bible Study class! It should be a really neat day cause it is sharing day and we all get to talk about what we or our kids have learned in class this year. I think it is one of y favorite days all year! But I will still miss you guys!
Okay, does anyone have any new cakes that they posted?? (I haven't done mine yet)
Monica - your cake looked great! All that work paid off big time! Did your BIL like it??
Good Morning all,
I'm here. At work, barely awake. I'm so tired. I not only feel it but I look it too. 
Welcome back cake_freak, neni, lady.
So the boss is still on vacation, I have tons of work, I'm here on CC cause I don't wanna fall behind on here either and when I get here this morning my other boss wants me to look at some computer problems he's having. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!! I'm too tired to look into it today.
I have no energy. I need cake. mmmmmmmmm
HI FWFHC (fellow wilton fondant hater club):
Hey, I was reading another thread and here's my ?: since it's highly unlikely that A: I will build another kitchen done entirely by contractors with a separate entrance and B: that I will even own my own shop, my question is how much will it cost to rent a kitchen and is it worth it? Passing on that cost to your client? Has anyone done that? And another question if the church kitchen is used, can they hold the church liable if something did happen and will the church lose its tax-free status? (this is my contribution to keeping the thread alive hehe)
But really, I do need to know.
Cathy, Fireman Sam is on Sprout on cable. It's a preschool program. My son loves it.
We can agree the fondant tastes and smells awful but works nicely.
Hey, did anyone see the poodle cake that KarenOR did? AMAZING!! If I can do something like that I would be so proud.
Lupe, I am willing a Starbucks delivery guy to visit you...(good luck, he never shows up here when I need him, though)
Oh Sweet, How sweet!
I'm desparate need of some Starbucks right about now.
I want in! Im a newbie that hopes to open her own shop soon in Arkansas 
I keep trying to catch up so I know what to comment on, but havent been able to yet. So Im just skipping to the end to post and then going to hurry back to catch up! Cracking me up. It all started with that penguin picture. Ive collected penguins for years and now they are everywhere. Reminds me of that song "I was country when country wasnt cool" only with penguins!
I also hate the taste of Wilton Fondant. I took a chocolate class from a food network guy who can remain nameless for now... and he said "Wilton makes a lot of great products, they just arent edible" 
Yeah Sweet I saw that Poodle cake and thought it was awesome too!!!! Very cool..
I am wondering if any of you here are Wilton instructors... They have contacted me and I might be interested... I was just wondering what is involved...
If they ever find out that I am a member of I Hate Wilton Fondant Hate Club I doubt they'd still want me ,
Loops... I am dragging to day too... I think we are spending too much time in cake land
Did your DCIL (D does not stand for dear ) ever leave? I sure hope so...
Yea, welcomWDsanders21!! Join on in... I think we have lost some peeps over our posts....guest we weren't funny enough. OOOorrrr....maybe they got converted to the DARK Wilton side....hmmmmmmm............ (I actually spend a lot on their products, they aren't all bad>>>> hehehe)
Sweet -
I have been looking into renting a kitchen too, in Fresno. I spoke with someone here on CC and she was going to open a place, but I haven't heard back from her. I only want to rent a space because I can't even fit two 8" pans in my oven at the same time....
I hate my house!
Julie,
DCIL went home!! I wonder what D stands for..... 
Hubby and I talked about him and he will no longer be doing that or its going to get ugly.
Julie -
I AM A WILTON INSTRUCTOR!! I haven't decided whether I like it or not....I'm only teaching course 1 (cause I don't think I'm good enough for the other courses) and I'm only teaching like every other month
So Cathy has a small oven too... I can't even fit a 12"x 18" sheet cake in mine!!!! I want to move so badly into a house with a dream kitchen... Granite countertops and the whole nine....
Cathy,
I have a nice kitchen. Come on over. I would love to share with a cake buddy.
I have a brand new kitchen. My gift from hubby 2 years ago when we purchased our home. I Love it!!!
Do you have to "shadow" an instructor?... how do you get started?
Loops -
I wouldn't say that too loudly....I may just show up on your doorstep!
Julie -
I didn't shadow anyone. I took the courses (all three of them 2x each) and then went to the training seminar. I had to send in pictures of my cakes. They then look at them and let you know if your "worthy" of teaching....lol, JK. I was petrified on the first night of my first class. I had eight people sign up...I only wanted three (I get stage frieight (sp?) talking in front of people) Only three stuck with it... The thing that I hate the most is that you have to bring in a cake and ice it and show everyone how its done and you have to pay for everything yourself...I don't get paid enough to do that! Oh, and this month I had two people sign up, I CALLED them the night before to remind them of the class; made my cake....sat there for 45 min for people to show up. No one did I just went home after that and froze the cake. I'll take it out for June's class. I have one sign up so far. $30 a night for 1-6 ppl, $40 a night for 7-9; $43 for 10; and I don't remember the rest. There are mandatory demo days (if you're going to work at Michaels) and you have to pay for and provide everything for that. I don't know about JoAnn's or HL. I'm still waiting for my apron and name tag. I guess I should talk to my supervisor! Let me know what else you want to know!
I dont want to be an instructor, but Im thinking about posting some pictures on here to see what you guys think. My friends think they look great but people on American Idol have people that let them sing on tv too Never can tell, I need some honest pointers before I open a shop.

Sorry that posted twice. I tried to attach a pic but it said my files were too big. I tried to resize them and it still didnt work. Guess it still posted both times 
How do you add them to the gallery?
Wendy
You should post your pics here... People here are really helpful... oh and welcome to the group!
wdsanders - you can go to resize.com and resize your pics there. There are instructions on how large a pic can be under the gallleries section.
