Please tell me I'm not alone... While in WalMart, I was looking at one of those wine cooler-fridges or mini fridges I guess you would call them, and while doting on the price It occured to me that I needed to sell four 9X13 cakes to pay for it. Not, I need to save $100 out of my next paycheck, it was simply "cake" 9X13 selling....has anyone else had this experience? Perhaps I need a cake break! icon_redface.gif

No you're not alone!!! it happens to me really often!!!! Sometimes I'm planning to buy something and I tell myself: one more birthday cake to go and I can buy it!
Do you think we bake too much cakes? icon_confused.gif Nah, there's no such thing as too much cakes....

Here's another thought--
While on vacation at the beach, some people were making sand castles. I thought how easy it would be to make a tiered cake in the sand and use real shells for the decorations. My DH threatened me if I did it!

I'm already doing it in different stores, oh I could use that for a cake topper or use that for decorating. I want to go to Lowe's and get some pvc pipe for a rolling pin!

I haven't done enough cakes yet to be thinking that way exactly (just getting back into it).

BUT, I'm on the computer all day using graphic design programs and often find myself thinking that way.

Made a mistake... ok, UNDO! UNDO!
"I wish I could just "clone out" a few freckles from my face.
Need to paint a room, why can't I just "fill" it with color?
Or copy and paste one wall to the next in real life!

I've started literally seeing cakes in my sleep since finding this site though!

Buttercream Dreams and Fondant Wishes!?!

I dream cake. Almost every dream I have has a cake in it. It's become crazy.

Yes, I also think about how many cakes it would take to pay for something.

I always have cakes on the brain! I'm always looking for things I can use for decorating. Sometimes I'll look at a greeting card and think, Wow, that would make a great cake. I have an entire closet full of things I have picked up here and there thinking, maybe I can use that for one of my cakes some day. I am currently working on teaching myself to model with fondant, so everytime I go into a clay section, I am always looking for things I can use for the modeling. I even dream about cakes! I think I'm possessed by the cake devil! lol

It's so funny to see this post because right before I got on......My daughter came home from her grandmother's house......she said that she would buy her sneakers for school so I didn't have to worry about it......yeah for me right??? She bought her those kind that have wheels on the bottom. The first thing that came out of my mouth was....'Great.....now I have to sell another cake to buy you some decent sneakers!!'

That's exactly how it is. I never thought of the funny side of it til I read this post. Everything's cake!!!
