My DH really wants to start helping me "work my business" and wants to learn how to bake, ice, etc. I'm happy about it (I think) but part of me is a little worried about him trying to take everything over once he figures out how much fun this job is. Am I being really ugly??
I don't think you are being ugly. There are reasons husbands and wives don't work together. My DH loves to try to help and likes to put in his two cents. I do the same to him when I try to help him with little projects or when he tries to cook.
Is there something he can do that you don't like doing? Book work or talking to clients? Or give him a job that only he does, like smoothing icing or something? I hope this helps.
dishwasher! LOL 
Maybe teach him some things and you'll both be able to figure out what he likes/wants to do and what he's naturally good at. Once those things are narrowed down, then you can divy up some tasks from there. He might not end up LIKING everything, so I wouldn't want to fight about stuff too early! LOL.
I would definetly establish some paramaters ahead of time if you're going to be sharing the kitchen.
Czy, I wanted him to go through the Wilton classes to let somebody else teach him who has patience to not take the pastry bag away from him when he's not doing it right. (Can you tell I'm a BIT on the retentive side 
) But he wants to wait and do that in Jan. or Feb., etc. etc. Wonder if maybe just me starting with the Wilton Course I book and going through stuff with him would be a good place to start now since he's driving me nuts wanting to learn things. I think maybe he's a little intimidated being around all those other people wanting to learn how to do cakes, etc . . . . Input anybody??
I would love for my DH to want to learn this craft. The thing is, everyone has their strong areas and when you work together you can play off of each other. Like when watching Duff. (ace of cakes). Everyone has their "part" to make the cake come together. It may be fun in the long run, especially if you both have your "part". imagine how fast you could get cupcakes out and decorated cookies! and RI flowers!
For the learning curve..You can show him a technique (like a certain flower) or have him watch a video and let him spend an hour or 2 doing that while you do your cakes! just a suggestion. Remember..You didn't learn overnight and he won't either.
My advice is take it in baby-steps and you just might be pleasantly surprised. Never in a million years did I want my DH anywhere near me or the kitchen when doing cakes...but one late night he decided to stay up and keep me company as I worked on a cake....the teapot cake in my photos. In a fit of frustration, I decided to cover the ball cake in fondant since I wasn't getting the BC smooth enough for my liking, I'd never covered ANY cake in fondant before and was nervous as heck. He helped calm me down, cleared my work area and rolled out the fondant for me to the perfect thickness and size...took him no time with those strong arms of his! Anyway, I got the ball covered and it looked great - but then I was short on fondant for the other decos, so I told him step by step how to do a batch of MMF and he did it and had fun too! While his big arms were wrangling that MMF into submission, I was able to continue working on the cake. There were lots of 'OMG, this looks wrong! What did I do? I think I messed up your sugar stuff...this is wrong!" 
I had to keep assuring him that it looked perfect, that it's always a mess right up to the moment it comes together...he got it done, let it rest and then colored it for me perfectly. I tell ya - it was SO NICE not having to deal with making and coloring all that MMF!! And he had a blast doing it and seeing it come out right..was proud of himself & we had a lot of fun doing it together, too. Now he loves to help me with the cakes - I've taught him how to make BC, which is a breeze with a KA, but still...one less thing for me to do if he's wanting to help me. He's also been cutting/covering boards for me and things like that.
Sorry my little story is kind of long, but thought it might give you some insight into the positives of what can happen if you are open to it, take it slow and give it a try. It could be a great thing for the two of you to share with each other. 
Thanks JennT. Your story reminded me of all the times my DH has stayed up with me and kept me calm or rubbed my back when it hurt from standing for so long in the kitchen and asked for directions. I knew I could depend on my CC family to help me out with this. Thanks!
I like the above advice of slowly teaching him and letting him help. My DH everynow and then wants to help and he usually just stresses me out so I tell him to go play x-box. One time my cake sank horribly in the middle and I was too busy decorating to stop to bake another. DH to the rescue. His cake turned out perfect! Everyone there commented on how moist and good it was 
He was so proud when I came home and told him that all the women now want him to train their husbands! Now if only he'll help me bake again 
My DH is excellent at architecture, he like sculpting and is very instrumental at helping me. He also is good with artwork. He does not like to ice cakes, or decorate, or make cookies and stuff. He always cuts my dowels. Lifts the heavy cakes for me when I go to set up, and of course he loves the top part of the cake if I have to cut it. I think if you work it out right you can share the duties and will work out fine. He may be good at certain things, that he could be a real help to you. I would start with the very basics and make him practice, just like you had to do. He may decide that its not what he thought and try something else besides decorating.or he might be a creative genius and you didn't know it.
