Those are all great choices!

I also really like the christmas mice, snowmen and penguins for this time of the year. Here's a pic of one of my favourite christmas mice done by TiaCakes.

A few of my favorite things:

1. Indydebi's Crusting BC icing
2. Aine2's figurine tutorials
3. Sugarshack's BC and fondant tips and tutorials
4. The ability to ask even the silliest questions, and get greeted warmly, with more help than I could ever imagine
5. Chutzpah, because she makes me laugh

Happy Holidays!

The melting snowmen cookies are about hilarious! Well done but with a great sense of humor! Love them!

My favorites...

*Seeing one of my cakes on the popular list on the home page
*Getting an answer or inspiration from someone who I would have otherwise never have met
*Coming up with and sharing some halfway decent ideas over the years
*Having my preconceived notions about someone shattered when I see a pic of them!!
*The AMAZING friendships I have made here

And how about
*How flippin' gorgeous Jackie is...? It's kind of making me mad. Hehehe. icon_razz.gif

1. Cake Central - I never ever get tired of looking through the galleries. I love all the cakes. I love all the ideas and things I've learned and all the wonderful decorators who are so willing to share. This site is just too awesome for words.

2. Buttercream decorated cakes. There is something about cakes done with fancy borders and buttercream flowers and pictures that I love. Have you seen cakery's cakes. If you haven't, you should, she is a master.

Or cakemommy. Hers are great.

I really love the entire site - CC, Jackie & Heath!!

Leahs, Sugarshack, IndyDebi, Melvira, Cakery and oh so many more - are so helpful and encouraging!

1 Hour on CC equals 8 hours of class time!! Look at all the time I've saved!LOL!!

A special love and thanks for CC allowing others to advertise classes for us 'commoners' to attend so that we can learn more!!

All of the tutorials and videos - from Aine to Toedna - they are all fantastic!!

The galleries and the descriptions provided are pure gold in my book!

And then there are the Forums - from fun - to invaluable lessons - to business help on how to handle 'those' customers - to sharing our faith and prayers.

And then where would we be without Tobas glace, Antonios 74 royal, NFSC & WASC!!!

These are but just a FEW of MY favorite things!!

Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New Year too!!


Suzycakes!

My number 1 is the forums, don't get me wrong, I love caking, but I feel like I have a family member that I can talk to at anytime of day, and ask questions to and that is the most important thing to me. Thank you all for being supportive and bless you all, your talent is just unbelievable.
2. Tonedna's gumpaste tutorials rock!!!! So detailed and hubby will sit there and watch it with me. icon_wink.gif
3. Debi's icing, my family loves it. ( they moved onto chocolate because it's the holiday season, but i'll make it for them soon icon_smile.gif
4. Janh, no matter what the question is, Jan has got more than enough answers. (I need to fly you out here because my sister in law asks way too many questions)
5. Chutzpah, no matter how bad of a day i'm having, I can count on you to make me smile.
6. wasc
7. nfsc
I love cc and I am thankful to Jackie and Heath for being so creative and giving so much of their time to put this site up. I honestly hope that you both recieve a lot of great blessings for being so kind.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS, To everyone!!!!!!!! icon_biggrin.gifusaribbon.gif

My favorite things are.....

1) Cake Central...Thanks A Bunch!!
2) WASC
3) Crusting Buttercream
4) MMF

If I would've never joined this close-knit community, I would've still been doing boring sheet cakes and would've never tried my hand at 3d cakes....therefor, I wouldn't be getting as much business as i do. Thanks to everyone who has answered any of my questions, responded to my posts and given me much needed advice (whether I wanted to hear it or not). Thanks, Merry Christmas and Stay safe!

Love Always,

Kivia
