Cool avatar wendysue!!!

hi all I will be 29 in Feb of '07. I have been decorating for 4 years in July of '07. nice to see how old everyone is makes us feel just a little closer to each other.

auntem:

I'm 34. But, people never believe me, I guess I have a young face (actually my whole family looks young). People sometimes mistake my mother and I for sisters! She's 22 years older than me!!

I was proofed for cigs everytime I purchased, which was frustrating when I was 31 and you only have to be 18 to buy! That's why I QUIT! kidding.

I know someday I will cherish my young looks, but....right now, it is hard. Sometimes my patients don't take me seriously, they don't think I'm old enough to do my job...or I haven't been doing it long enough...It's been 12 years! ARG! I know..we should all have these troubles

I tell my age with every post. LOL

I am 34 soon to be "35".

I am 52 and just lovin' it. Only started decorating in June.
Very good thread...interesting!!

started decorating earlier this year and have a loooooong way to go yet. I'm 28 years old and my birthday is June 02.

I'll be, ahem, 43, in January!

I'm 32. Lukerubyjoy, I have the same problem. I'm a Realtor and a lot of people think I just got out of college. It gets frustrating.

I am 52. I am just finishing up Course 2 in my Wilton Class. I love doing this...I wish I had more time to decorate cakes. I practice as often as I can. I have so much to learn, and thanks to this great site, I think I'm in the right place!!

I'm 26 years old. Started decorating one year ago.

I am 38 and will be 39 on Feb. 24th. I have been decorating off and on for about 10 years. Just recently got "serious" with it, now that I stay home with the little one.

I'll be 31 in 2 weeks.

I starting decorating almost 6 year's ago and did my son's firts birthday cake. I mainly got into to do cool cakes for my kids and now i"m trying to sell some here and there. Slow going, but that's ok.

31 here

38...blond hair, blue eyes, slim...I like long walks on the beach, starry nights...ohhh...wrong forum.

Married... but safe...ugly as the day is long...totally charming though...and funny...I should get points for funny...

oohh . . . is there a picture somewhere of Dale on this site? My hubby brushes off my cakecentral addiction as totally silly so if there are hot guys here with pictures, I could casually leave my laptop open as my hubby wanders through the kitchen and when he inquires as to what I was doing, I can tell him, "Oh, that's just one of the cake guys." Maybe then he'd take me a little more seriously.

Of course it was me! Who else would claim this face. Makes people cry. I walk up to cars and say "Do you know why I stopped you?" All I get is tears from the nice ladies. Breaks my wittle heart...I almost cant write the ticket...almost.

I'm 31 going on 32 on Thanksgiving.

Love this topic! I took Wilton classes with my Mom in 1977! Thats a big hint. Stopped doing cakes while I raised my girls, except for the few character cakes made with stars for their birthdays, then last January, darling Daughter announces her engagement and the first thing out of my mouth was, "Can I do your wedding cake?" , found this site and just love fondant and everything I have learned here.

Oh, yeah, I will be 48 next week, had to use calculator to come up with that, don't feel a day past 35.

Ok, I guess I'll join in here...... I'm 30... 31 in February. Gosh, 31 sure sounds awful when it's written (typed)!!!! Honestly, I am not taking my age very well these days, can you tell?!?!?!?!

lukerubyjoy and coolchc21, I, too, have that problem: not looking my age. Which I do enjoy some days, but not all. I think it bothers my DH a lot though. The kicker was when we went to buy him a new truck a couple of years ago, and the dealer asked if my DH was my father!!! He is 38. To say the least, he wasn't too happy with the guy!

I am 33 and only decorating for about 6 months. Is that right? Hmmm. I have a full time + job and two girls, 4 and 2 plus my husband went back to school so I was busy busy. When he finished I decided I would do something for me and that is when I met cake decorating.

I have the same problem at work, lack of respect because of how old people assume I am. I have to rule by influence in my job and it's tough to win people over who think you are just a kid an not a seasoned professional. One manager said she was old enough to be my mother. Right, she is only 10 years older than me!

i'm 21

I am 36 and to me, you are as young as you feel.

Just turned 29 UGh in September!

Goals by age 30--
1. Be seen on Food Network doing cakes-DONE.
2. Be taped by Food Network-DONE some stuff never made it to TV!
3. Open My own Business-working on it.
4. Compete in a large cake challenge other than OSSAS! Yeah right!
