So are you Jkalman.... By the way..I had a bride wanting a copy of your very famous TT. Had to do it in buttercream. The colors.... shades of blue from navy to baby blue, and green!

Thanks for the welcome Edna. WoooHooo (that's my country hick holler!) Geez you really get younger on this site? How about losing some unwanted pounds? LOL
That could happen.. as you make so many cakes that you slowly get sick of them.. 
Heck no!!!! For the life of me, I can't work with long nails.

so many years making cakes and I still crave them! 
....when will it stop!!!!!
My nails look terrible, and my hands are always some weird color. One day, after I had finished all my cakes for the week, I had tried to scrub the color off my hands to no avail. I was sitting in the mall one day whilemy kids played at the indoor playground, and ran into a client of mine. She looked down at my hands and said "Wow, I guess you've been decorating today." Ack! I was SO embarrassed! I often think about running in to get a simple manicure (not fake nails, just pretty, polished nails) but think, what's the point? It will just get ruined. 
I don't have any finger nails. My fingers are actually sore from opening fondant containers last Wednesday.

I usually wear gloves to work. But if you dont want to, put crisco in your hands.. It makes a bit of a difference.

I wonder why they don't already figure out an easy way of opening those lids..You need the strenght of a rhino to open them!

To go back to the original them of this thread, I keep my nails short and i've been using gel polish (the kind that is applied and then cured by a UV lamp). It does not chip or stain, even when you get black food coloring all over yourself and forget to wipe off immediately! It lasts 2 weeks but I usually change it every 12 days just to make sure it doesn't chip.
Someone told me that "polish is polish" and that means it is unhygienic to wear any. I thought the unhygienic part was polish flaking off and/or food under your nails. This polish stays on my finger nails like crazy glue! And I see cooks and bakers who wear nail polish (Food Network, Martha Stewart, etc), so do I really need to worry?
Please let me keep my mani!! :)

Do I have long fingernails? Only when they're overdue to be trimmed (like right now).
And on the matter of fondant containers, would a small crowbar help?
