I have to say that I have never made a cake in my life--I accidently happened across this website and am completely addicted!
My daughter keeps asking "Mom, are you STILL looking at pictures of cakes?"
I have been...for about 3 weeks. Your talent astounds me and is ruining my diet.
Hi there, just wanted to welcome you to your new addiction but I think you have already figured that out
A "BIG WELCOME" to you!!!
Take the plunge and do a cake!! You'll love it and you'll be surprised at what nice work you can do.
Wilton offers inexpensive courses at Michaels, A.C. Moore and many other places. I'm sure if you say where abouts you are from, you'll get many replies letting you know what is available in your area.
I don't know the age of your daughter, but if old enough, she can even help and learn right along with you!!!
I have decorated cakes for a while but thought I would learn the proper way so I took the classes. I am now addicted to this website too. Good luck to you.
I'm still new, and still addicted...will it ever stop?
Saying 'howdy' - and go make a cake!
So where are you from??? We are all community and if you haven't made your first cake yet... Get up away from the desk and make your first one... You will fall in love... WE ALL HAVE!!!!
and you know what... If you are married... I started doing this a year ago and everyday it amazes me that my DH has grown to enjoy making creations with me... If you look in my gallery the TRUCK tippling over is all him... He designed it all, all I did was make the cake(the easiest part)... He made it stay... We rock as a team ... So you never know what will happen when you start your first cake!!!!
Good Luck and if you need help... Always Ask...

I have definatley succumbed to this site, I am on here all the time for ideas. I just do this for the fun and am definatley an amateur. all these ideas are so great, and help.
Welcome to the community and your first posting ! I join in the encouragement to turn on that oven and give things a try - with a daughter, there is always an excuse for a cake or cookies.
Welcome!! This is a great place for learning, and getting help! I am completely addicted and will spend a couple hrs a night happily browsing rather than researching something for my "paying" job!! It is the best-you'll love it.
Welcome to CC, justfrosting!!!! You have found the best website on the whole web!! I love this place, and have learned more here than in my whole time at college!!
Take the plunge and try making a cake ... you'll do great! We're looking forward to seeing your creations!!
come on and make a cake, you can do it! you'll probly be great at it too because you are already interested. and yes this site is addictive, my family is sick of me being on it.
Don't forget - there are cookies, too!
Seriously, if you find cakes too intimidating, you can make 8" cookies and decorate them just like you would the top of a cake...The rolled chocolate cookies are very good, and the No-fail cookie recipe is well named.
And as someone pointed out - If you don't like them EAT THE EVIDENCE!!!
Isn't this place the greatest?! I'm new here too and am addicted! Just looking at what the others can do makes me want to learn more! Welcome !!!
Welcome to you...I've been here since April and there's not a day goes by that I am not on here for 2 hours at least. Once I get the kiddos in bed, it's off to CC for me!!! This is where so much of my inspiration comes from!
denise2434.....Love the Avatar!!!One Celeb that I wouldn't mind running into! Yoooowwwwza!!!
I know what you mean. I started by making cakes for my children, now I walk down the street and think "how can I make that into a cake?" Once you start decorating it is just as addictive as CC.
Welcome! I eat, think, and live CC!
I'm expecting my husband to ground me from it any day now (hehehehehe )!
This site is sooo much fun! I'm addicted in spurts. Haven't been here much lately because I'm trying to start a new business... not cake related. Maybe someday I'll do the cake thing, but getting licensed isn't possible for me right now.
Anyway, I agree that this is a great site. The decorators here are incredibly talented with their skills and sooo very giving of their time. I've learned a lot here and consider this to be a resource I can't decorate without!
Welcome to CC! You're definitely not alone in your addiction. My husband complains that I spend all evening on the computer lol.
Welcome! I am new too and have been on the site EVERY day since I stumbled across it! My husband asked me the other day "can there really be that many cakes for you to look at?" YES YES YES and a ton of super nice people to talk to as well! Welcome to the MOST ADDICTING SITE ON THE WEB!!
Everyone is so helpful on this site. It is definately the best site. All of the cakes on here are truely amazing!!!!
welcome justfrosting! you will feel like this is your second family, you would probably spend as much time u spend with your family.. ..
steady2hands, i think i will be grounded tonight! i got tons of work to do (organize linen closet, clean kitchen, fold clothes and iron...and my husband is coming anytime from his brotherhood meeting! but, i am still here with you guys!
so, be warned justfrosting!
sorry justfrosting, i edited this coz i put justicing instead of justfrosting...
How is this for addicted.... I had to go to Lowes tonight w/dh and as we went by the overflow pans for water heaters I grabbed one and said "now wouldn't that make a kick butt cake" He laughed and said it would not fit in our oven. lol
...i know what u mean justducky! everywhere i go, i always look for stuff i can use to decorate...
I'm addicted too!! I found this site by accident, I was looking on the wilton site for ideas for an upcoming birthday and then stumbled on the forums. This site was mentioned there and I came to poke around. I can't stay off this site now . My 4 year old is getting into it too now, she always wants to look at the galleries
I AM ADDICTED!!!!
Every day I check it, several times a day.....even at work!! and I sit next to my manager either she turns a blind eye and pretends not to see me or she really hasn't noticed.
Keep on baking!!!!
Cindy
