The worst part is that I have nobody to blame but myself! Honestly, I get on my own nerves worse than anyone I know!!
Add me to the list of sailors.
Curse like the devil when I am putting it together and pray like the dickens when I am delivering it.

Although I am but a mere newb at all this compared to most of you, I have found that shouting 'YOU ROTTEN SUNUVAMOTHERPECKER' !!!!actually works better than a hot spatula for smoothing buttercream. HTH

LOL I LOVE this thread. When I really get going, I talk to my cakes in 2 languages..... when the words starting coming out in both languages, then we're in real trouble.

I'll definitely have to try that method (along with Indy's buttercream, Melvira's roller and Sugarshack's smoothing techniques)! Heck, I'll have smooth like glass buttercream with all that!
For me it's not exclusive to actually doing the cake, it's anything cake related. For example all afternoon I've been looking for my heart gumpaste cutters (the $25 set I couldn't live without) and now probably will have to freaking replace because for whatever reason they aren't in their freaking drawer! (In real life, the word freaking is substituted with a suitably foul word beginning with the same letter!)
Bless your heart!
It really torques my tushy when I can't find something, that I know I just saw in it's proper place. Yeah right, if it was in it's proper place I would be able to find it.
Right now I'm hunting for a floral tape cutter that cost enough to pay my phone bill for a month.
What really gets it flying, is when after I've searched for a couple of days, then I go buy the flipping thing I can't find. I put it away where it's supposed to be AND IT'S RIGHT WHERE IT BELONGS! Now I own 2 maybe 3 of something I only need once every year. Bothers me.
Then again, today was a good day. I found something I've been thinking about for a few days, but wasn't obsessing about it. I didn't find a styrofoam ball I need.
Oh well, I'll live.

oh that is too funny. I am currently learning german, and when it gets really (fondant inspired) bad, I mix english, spanish and german!!!
I cant wait until i learn russian and italian!! There is no telling what will come out of my mouth then!!
HAHAHA!! I have found my family! My husband works evenings and is ready to go early if I am doing a cake. I think I have taught him a few new words. Things start out fine and I have this picture in my head of what it should look like, but it just never seems to come out that way. Really glad I am not the only person who goes a little crazy when I am decorating.
HAAA! This is so funny, I cuss like a sailor when I do cakes. My son-in-law says I should name my business, Cakes and Cussin by Robin!!!
Love this thread !!!! Yep cuss like a sailor All of my cakes must be female becausse at some point they all get referred to as B*%#$*s . Love the stories glad to know I am not the only one.....
This is honestly my favorite thread I think!! Years ago a friend of mine sent me a page from one of those quote-a-day calendars that said "Profanity is the effort of a feeble mind to express itself forcefully." She wrote on it - Uh oh, we're in trouble. Sometimes I amaze myself with the combinations I come up with when frustrated in the kitchen! Just tonight I used every word I could come up with, and DH just knew to walk away! ha! Sometimes it just feels good to say any and every word that comes to mind! Good thing I don't have kids - I'd be telling them earmuffs A LOT!
Sailors and military men are notorious for their potty-mouths, but anyone who works in a kitchen can give them a solid run for their money.
Try doing both. Military and then working in a kitchen??? My husband puts on headphones and turns the tv on really loud and he still can't tune me out.. and in two languages. I love making cakes but lately I have butterfingers and drop everything!!!
and the smoothing technique(cussing at the buttercream) it actually works!! Hubby jokes and says that i'm abusive because the cake can't defend itself. I tell him I don't care because it's misbehaving and it's lucky it doesn't get tossed out.
oh im so glad im not on my own. everyone vacates the house, mess every where swearing, tears and on my last cake 1kg of fondent got ripped off the cake and thrown in the sink....but ill do it all again
Well, at the cake shop, just an occasional word and the "WORK WITH ME!!!" I realize I say to buttercream, fondant or whatever else is giving me problems. However, the dayjob makes me cuss, scream and there never is any satisfaction from it. I despise that place.
