I'm Driving People Crazy. Do You?

Oh Alaska such a great topic. My family says I have an addiction but the funny part is they will stay up all night to watch me make a cake. Once I had my hubbys cusin who constantly says I need to got to a support group for addictions stay up with me till 4 am asking questions while I was trying to put his daugters first communion cake together, I think I have converted him to the ways of cake cuz now everytime he comes over he's the one who brings up the cake subject 
My wife does get tired of cake talk, and reigns me in. However, she is quick to Tivo cake shows for me!
My husband and mom are very supportive and my kids are not old enough to care what I am talking about. My husband is huge into model cars so he is happy that I also have a hobby. He even gets in the kitchen with me to help or to take over when I need to go take care of a kid (the youngest is 8 months and strickly breastfed). If fact he did most of the grass on the easter cake I made and he made the icing while I leveled the cake. I sent a pic of the cake to my mom and she printed it out and showed it off to her friends at work. And most of my friends tolorate me cause they know that when I want to try something they are going to get free cake.
I have no idea if I bore them. I know they are always asking me to make something. It couldn't be as boring as my hubby talk about cycling. I will continue to create teh calories and he can burn them off peddling. Caking is so much cheaper than cycling.
Wow Alaska you are right on with this subject. I love this site and cakes also. My husband is very supportive. He takes me shopping for things he thinks I'll need. He's so cute. He was picking everything up that had to do with cake saying, "you need this, you need this, you need this?" I started classes with my brother's wife and he's just as encouraging. So we are having a good time with it and we are both addicts. It's nice to have someone just starting out like me that we can learn and practice together. We just live a block away from each other. So much fun. Harder than I thought it would be but I'm hoping we catch on eventually. But if ever our hubbies get tired of it we will always have CC. Yeah!
My hubs definitely appears to be tired of cake talk, and I get the usual eye roll when I laugh at something or want to show him something here on CC. But when it comes down to it, and I am trying to figure out a design or how I am going to make something work, he loves to help and throws his 2 cents in where he can which helps out... most of the time.
DaisyLisa17 - my name is also Lisa and I love your signature - wish I had thought of that!
Great thread - the people at work love me for it, hubby not so much any more (he's more of an ice cream junkie) but - the ladies at Michael's and ACMoore LUV me - they know how much money I spend on this obsession --- I think I'm gonna need a bee-gar box!!

That is so funny, Hubby is outside spraying off the road for road grime and I went out and asked him, "If you had to be locked in a room with me talking about a hobby for 24/7 what would it be?" He said Mountain Biking.
I told him he wasn't allowed to pick his own hobby. 
Guilty!
Just got married 2 years ago and that's about when this whole fascination started - poor hubby didn't know what he was getting into! I definitely bore him and he has told me he just can't get into cakes but he does listen politely to me most of the time. Which is only fair because his big hobby, soccer, is something I'll also NEVER understand yet I still listen to him telling stories about his players, practices and games....
My son (12) is different - since I restrict his TV viewing somewhat he'll watch anything to get a fix. That means he also watches some of my caking shows with me (which my mom records and sends me on dvd) and enjoys checking out Cake Wrecks with me on a regular basis. He's also the first to defend my pricing and would actually set a higher price on many cakes since he knows how much work goes into them. He's such a sweetie when it comes to my cakes! And he knows that he gets the coolest birthday cakes in the whole region since decorated cakes just aren't that popular in Germany yet.
My friends, thank goodness, never get sick of me talking about them (or at least have never shown it!) - they're excited with me and are fascinated by some of the things I'm able to do now. They're great!
I drive people crazy on a daily basis - not necessarily about cake, either! 
But, yes, I kind of do drone on and on... but the worst is when i'm having a non cake-related conversation and get an inspiration for a design or a flavor or something and have to abandon the convo. they kind of get annoyed with me.
