I feel overwhelmed about where to read and post 
. How do ya'll keep up with it?! I just started here and it took me all day to get on here (I'm on the road alot) and in trying to catch up on what's happening with ya'll I read here and there and barely scratched the surface of all the great stuff 
. Okay, deeeep breath, I'm fine now....
Whew-- Well, I may not know where to begin..yet...but in my wandering around here I did notice a couple of others as new as me, and I just want to say Welcome!! to jespooky and jamiesue. Is this place awesome or what! I look forward to learning and sharing along with ya'll.

Welcome..Welcome...It is great here!!! Now no driving and typing 
..HA!HA
hey icing praises! Thanks for the welcome and same to you. I know what you mean. I think my DH and kids think I have checked out for good b'c I've been spending so much time here! It is a bit overwhelming, but lots of fun and great info. Just can't wait to take my first class!
Welcome, this place is awesome. Seriously, anything you ever wanted to know about cakes, cookies, icing, fillings, ect. you can find on here! I've learned more on this site in the past few months than I have since I took my first Wilton course 6 years ago. It's great!
Welcome!!! I was overwhelmed at first too...I think I was here everyday for almost a month before I mustered the courage to post, now I can't stop! You just have to jump in, everybody is so nice, and always willing tohelp. This is one of my favorite places in the whole world.
This is a vast wealth of information!! Welcome!
Welcome newbies!
Looking forward to sharings..!
Thanks guys!! Hey kiddiecakes--typing while driving-- what a great idea, would save sooo much time! LOL- just kidding! Even if it was legal, I can't even make a decent bc rose, so know I couldn't coordinate that 
. Anyway, jamiesue, are you scheduled to take a class soon? I hope you love it! I was sooo excited to be able to take classes. I have recently completed courses 1,2, and 3 and can't believe how much there is to learn about making great cakes. I can honestly say that I have learned just as much here as in classes though, but of course the classes offer the opportunity for hands-on which is so great. I am really looking forward to taking a class on gumpaste in January! I also took the courses with my teen daughter. It was so much fun and now we can help each other. Oh, sorry for rambling-- it's just nice to share with other enthusiasts

welcome icingpraises from another South Carolinaian....which part of SC are you from? I'm in the Upstate
Hi Janicemarie- I'm in Myrtle Beach, just recently moved here from Tenn. I'm a mountain girl at heart but I'm really liking it more and more here.
I would have a hard time choosing between the ocean and our beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. 
I look at them from my front windows every morning
Hopefully after being here for awhile I will begin to feel at home, but for now this website is so large and so active that I would find it difficult to actually make cake friends here let alone keep up with the posts each day. You all seem friendly enough, just that it feels like being a stranger in a big city.
Hi ShirleyW- well, I'm just one li'l ol crumb in this cake city, but let me just say that I'm glad you're here. Your work is fabulous 
! and certainly inspires me. I haven't read any of your other posts (that I recall right off), but no doubt here that you have much to offer and have likely shared of your expertise freely. Thanks cake-friend

I am going tomorrow to sign up for course 1. I have always been an avid baker and thought about taking a decorating class, but have 2 small kids and just haven't gotten around to it. This past weekend I made a castle cake for my daughter and had so much fun I decided to go for it. Not to mention I could use an outlet since I am a stay at home mom. Must go to bed b'c the little ones get up painfully early ugh!
Hey, Janicemarie and icingpraises...I am in South Carolina too - I'm in Columbia.
Hey sweetdreams! Glad to see another carolinian aboard ! It's late in the day, and I just got in here to see your post. Been in Columbia long?
