This is the greatest site. Been lurking here since my first Wilton class last June. I am soooo hooked, and yes, my hubby thinks I am a cake dork. Any excuse to make and decorate a cake.
Retired civilian employee with the Navy, a CAD drafter/illustrator. Was selling on ebay, but I have been playing hooky lately (I wonder why). Hobbies include quilting and watercolor painting.
Have one son teaching in Beijing. Went to visit last year...didn't see one single cake while there..horrors! But I did find time to check back on CC at night.
Am also a member of the orange "Hungry" you see on TV. My thought...Its either be consumed by cakes(obsessive), or consuming cakes(fluffy). I make cakes on weekend, then send them off with hubby to his co-workers on Monday. They really like me!
I'm an Office Manager at a window and door construction complany. We work out of a split building, and the other half has recently been vacated. My co-workers tease that I should lease it, so I can bake and run the office all at the same time LOL 
.
At the moment I make cakes for my family and friends, which sometimes extends to my families friends.
I've only recently started decorating cakes, actually my facination grew even more after stumbling onto CC. There's just soo many amazing stuff you all do 
!!! I wish I had more time to practice, but for now I'm limited to baking and decorating in the evenings, and weekends.

I am a physician assistant, working in Women's Health. Before I found this job I was a SAHM mom for almost 4 years. Have a daughter, 6, and a son, 3. Also have worked as a secretary in a high school, elementary school, jewelry wholesale office, and headquarters for a women's clothing retailer. I definitely don't do decorating professionally but do love having fun with it when I have- or make- the time.
I am a proud housewife and for the first time in my life I have plenty of time for me and my hobbies. Just waiting on the babies and then the break is up : )
Cakes by Jen,
I'm waving my hands at you from across the bakery counter!
I too work in a local bakery as a cake decorator. Have been there for 12 years now. Wow time flies by fast. I started when my youngest went into 2nd grade. Now he is in college. I have started my own business this year now that my kids are grown. Although I do care for my 3 year old grandson every day from 2 to bed time. (my little apprentice)whew , Some days I am so tired.! But I can't stop the cake makin. i love it too much. Carrot cupcakes are comingout of the oven as we speak.
I'm a wife to a wonderful man and a stay at home mom of 3. 4, 3, and 10 months. I am busy with the kids most of the time between pre-school, drum lessons and dance class, that doesn't leave much time for cakes so I guess it's a good thing I only do them for family and friends. NOT a pro yet, but hope to get there. I've got a long way to go compared to most of you ladies.

I am a college student and will be graduating in May.... like 102 days away!
I am LOOKING! for a special events coordinator position, or something in human resources, perferable at a hotel. Oh in AZ... so if you know anyone who wants to hire an creative hard workin girl PM me 
(okay, I am only partially serious...)
I bake after classes and spread out my filling, icing, and decorating days (start baking on Tuesday and amd done Sat night).
After graduation I will be getting "married" and moving in with my bf...so I guess in a few months he will be my DDP (dear domestic partner!)
Love this thread, so jealous of all of you who are getting ready to retire.
Congrats to a few of you who recently went back to work, or secured awesome jobs!

I am a retired health food store owner and nutritionist, (my customers should see me now with SUGAR and SHORTENING up to my elbows! I guess I crossed over to the dark side (he-he) Took some Wilton courses like so many of us, and now love it. My son opened a deli/restaurant, and took me out of retirement, (thank goodness) I now have my hands in the till (cashier) Now I have the perfect spot to showcase my treats!
I bake cakes for fun. (don't get enough practice though). My goal this year is to make a better tasting cake . . . I'm happy with how they look, but not so much how they taste.
I used to be a Health Aide for the schools in our area. I weighed, measured, screened for vision/hearing problems and taught school aged children about making healthy decisions. We talked about the effects of tobacco, alcohol & drug abuse. We also talked about healthy eating habits and positive self body image. We implemented a "Bully free Zone" program in the schools. Oh, and we gave immunizations too!!
I gave all that up to teach Preschool full time! I'm having a blast AND I NEVER HAVE TO GROW UP!!! (bet you never would have guessed by looking at my Avatar that I'm a preschool teacher)!!?? little scary isn't it?
I manage a grocery store bakery full time. That's a daily lesson in maintaining your sanity. Unfortenately we don't decorate cake, and instead get the flash frozen cardboard flavoured "cakes".
I also do part time childcare for a family with a little girl. She makes me smile everytime i'm with her.
creations8 glad to see you are posting too, i remember when i started posting, i was kind of leary of doing it, but you soon just can't wait to put in your two cents.
Thanks 
angelas2babies- I just had to say as a mom of a seriously preemie baby... thanks for your work. Respiratory Therapists did wonders for my daughter Katie and we are appreciative to every one of you!!!
You just made my day. I had a long evening at work last night and drove home in that horrible snow storm to make it home at 1:30 in the morning. And I have to say...it was worth it. I am always grateful for my job and the families that I have met.
And best wishes on your pregnancy!

angelas2babies---did you drive south or north in this wonderful storm...we live in central ohio and have not been in school all week...i have a doughter who travels 71 on the weekend....how are they doing on the roads?
Hammer1
*UGH* so that means all of ohio is getting this?! so sorry to hear that... i was just thinking that with all the lake effect snow i get now living on the east side of cleveland that it wasn't as bad elsewhere, but unfortunately i'm mistaken!!!

I have been reading through this for the past two days so I figured I should probably put in my info. I am new to cake world I've been doing it for about 2 years. My real job is being a cake decorator at walmart! It's fun when ppl ask me if i like my job I always say of course I do I color for a living. I do more complex cakes for friends, family, friends of family, and family of friends lol. I'm a youngin (1
I am planning on taking the wilton master course next month. And possibly going to pastry school in the fall.
Thanks I'm excited I just hope it's not a repeat of everything they taught in the other local wilton classes.
I am a cake hobbiest as of late. I only recently got into it but Ive amassed SO MUCH stuff to do so! In the real working world, though, I train for Microsofts Xbox 360 account for a global escalations company. Its fun...play video games sometimes too!
I'm a medical assistant and mother of three. I wish I had more time to bake and decorate. My dream is to start a home business but I have a long ways to go.
I'm a Call Center Workforce Mgmt Analyst for one of the big 3 auto dealers. Also a mother of 3 kids (14, 7 & 3). Oh, don't forget the husband-still trying to figure out how old he really is .
