I love this site!! I stumbled upon it by accident and i read the waring "this site is addictive" and I thought oh yeah sure it is, but i am soooo addicted it's not funny - my husband hates it!! So do my kids! My hubby says this site is like my drug - I have to come on here at least twice a day!

It is just a bottomless pit full of beautiful pictures, great advice and people who like cake decorating just as much as me!

I thought the same thing when I entered the very first time. I am on the site whenever I can. Work, home, friend's homes etc.
I tell my co-workers I am going to lose my job checking out CC all day.

I like the entry from kaychristensen: "... friends and teachers".
I have even met 2 people from my area from being on CC and learned about a cake club that I would have never known about if I hadn't been cruising the forums.
I enjoy seeing where everyone is from and the different techniques used.

My husband says I'm an addict. I don't believe him. I am only on here about three to four times a day.

Can we all say "denial".

This site is so informative and every one is so nice. How could you not become addicted! I love it!

While I'm at work, like now, I have a window open with CC and I refresh often!! On my weeks off, I have to check at least 3x a day from home. This site is so helpful and I've gotten so many ideas from the galleries...amazing cakes and sugarwork. I was so happy I finally made Junior Member status yesterday that I IM'd my DH and told him. He said, "Good for you!" After my email, this is the first thing I log onto and the last thing I check before bed.

I AM AN ADDICT!

OK, where is AA for Cake Central? We all need to join because we're all addicts. Election of Officers will be the first order of business then we'll all log on to CC before proceeding any further. Oh what the heck, it's useless, there is no hope for CC addicts.........

WELCOME!!! I believe you are going to get a lot of replies to your question.
Once you take a look around here, you are hooked for life. There is no known cure for CC-itis!! And I wouldn't take the cure if it's ever discovered!!!!!

Could someone please explain the different levels to me? The Newbies, Jr. Members etc.? I have been a member since Sept. but I was mostly just looking and reading. I don't feel quite experienced enough to offer very much advise but I'm trying. TIA
Diane

And I am also addicted. I should be cooking lunch right now, but I'm not..........

cakeladydi ~ Welcome to you too!!!
It goes by how many ''posts'' you have. I forget the numbers that change your standing but it really has nothing to do with your ability to decorate. So post away whenever you want to or can. icon_smile.gif

Yes, I've noticed, they are using just one time zone. So I don't really pay attention to the times.
I'm sure someone will let us know where this time comes from.

There is only one thing I am very sad about with CC. I, for some reason, can not get my avitar to change. Everything I have tried to put there is too big even though I shrink it until you can hardly see it. Don't get me wrong, I like my cute little smiley flower girl, but it is time for a change.
Something flashy would be nice icon_smile.gif

I hope I did this right. Here's a link that might get you on your way to changing the pic. http://cakecentral.com/cake-decorating-ftopict-53810.html

Just keep making them smaller. But make sure you have really cropped your pic tight since you really don't want much of any background in a tiny pic like an avatar. Good Luck!!!

also, about the time zones:
on your "My Forum Info" page, scroll down to the time zone part and adjust it to your zone. thumbs_up.gif

Yes....I am a complete addict! I think I am on here more during the day when I am supposed to be working. If it wasn't for this site, I don't think I would have to guts to try to make it in the cake business. You all rock!

My house is so neglected since I started here. I'm a homemaker so I must go to CC 12 + times a day. I'm here until 1am most of the time.

My husband use to ask what I'm doing on the computer. Now he knows. I have no life so all he hears is a member had this pic or a member suggested this, you get the pic.

I would love for CC to expand their store to offer more selection. It would be so cool to get all the supplies I need here so I would have to leave this site.

Anyway, welcome you will have lots of fun and learn a lot. I've learned more here than I ever did in classes.
