thumbs_up.gif Welcome jetway! Have you read the "Warning" yet? (click on the warning icon at the top left of the page). I think you're becoming obsessed!! icon_surprised.gificon_lol.gificon_lol.gificon_lol.gif That's ok, we've all gone thru it, and are still going thru it! And will ALWAYS go thru it!!! I check CC as often as I do my emails......and that's a LOT!! icon_rolleyes.gif I think one of the things that's so drawing here is the fact that every minute of the day or night there are new posts, and new cakes uploaded, and another problem to solve!! It's a constant changing site!!! We've all been bitten by the CC Bug!!! icon_eek.gif Enjoy it!

Jackie -

Thank you so much for a wonderful website for cake decorators. I am pretty much a novice (after 1-1/2 years) but truly addicted. You are, indeed, a wonderful, talented person. Again, thanks - your hard work is really appreciated. thumbs_up.gifthumbs_up.gif

I have joined many sites in the past for many things (the programming sites are not a safe place normally icon_wink.gif ) I have followed many hobbies including programming (got a D in C++ and I am dam proud of it icon_rolleyes.gif ) I know it takes a lot of work to keep on working on one site for so long exp. if it is for free. I have to say that I have never see a site that made a person feel so at home, as if they are among friend they can trust as this site. You have done a very good job with this site, and with cake decorating being my newest hobby I think that I just might stick with it because of the support this site has provided. Thanks

Check your e-mails? Since I have been on cc, my e-mails have been sorely neglected!!

Actually, I lurked for about a year before I had the nerve to say anything - now I can't seem to shut up.

Hats off to YOU!

Can't thank you enough for starting such a great website and it's FREE!

I have not attended any cake classes and used to rarely bake, and if at all I do, I do not ice them because I always felt that I would not be good at it. But...

...this wonderful thing that you have started has given me all the inspirations and motivation, that I have a beautiful hobby now and get rave reviews from my family and friends from it. That's not all, I delivered my 1st cake order yesterday to a close friend of mine and today I have 2 more orders to be delivered on Monday.

Jackie. thank you for making this happen for me.

Holy Cow!!!! icon_eek.gif I found this sight only a few months ago and have been addicted ever since I saw something about it on wilton. I was looking for ideas for graduation cakes. And here I am and have been here about everyday sometimes 2 or 3 times a day. The love is truelly felt on this sight. My hubby has his Nascar chat buddies. But I have this great sight. I can learn, I can get great ideas, and i can vent when a good cake has no pictures to prove it. And I always wondered how this site got started. It is great to know there are others out there like me who want to share and learn. And that someone (Jackie) was a genius to bring it to life. We love you thumbs_up.gificon_biggrin.gif and yet icon_cry.gif we don't do our much needed dishes and house cleaning. Thanks everyone else for the AWESOME ideas. Keep up the great job.

Thank you Jackie! This site rocks!

When my DH/kids see me at the computer now they just go "Oh, Mom is looking at cakes again!" Seriously! Too funny, but too true!

I've "dabbled" at cake decorating since I was about 13 or so but never too seriously UNTIL now! Everyone here is so helpful and the tutorials are amazing. My kids birthday cakes will never the the same again! LOL

I grew up in Ireland in a family of 4 kids, a very busy Mum & Dad, cousins practically living with us ... each of us kids with all our friends coming & going all the time .... if anyone ever had a birthday, it was left to me to throw something together by way of a birthday cake (never that great mind- but a birthday cake nonetheless!).
If anyone ever wanted a cake, mum or whoever would nod my direction & say "ask cake central over there"!
Now at the (still young?) age of 35, my cakes loom ever larger in my life ... and I wondered if I could possibly charge for my cakes & turn it into a mini business of sorts. One day I decided to check out google to see if any one had Cake Central as a domain name ... and look what I found!!! Best google search I ever made!
Hooked isn't the word! My husband loves & hates CC at the same time!!!! Hate CC because I spend SOOOOOO much time on here checking everything out, but loves CC for the delight on my face when I get a lovely comment on my latest cake!!!
I LOVE CC!!!!
Long may it reign!!!

ps Still haven't charged for a cake yet!!

I know it's been said in a hundred ways, but thank you so much Jackie for creating this site and thanks to those who help maintain it.
I have only been decorating since June but I have learned as much as if I had been taking classes for a year.

It has been a wonderful place of learning and sharing..I stumbled upon it a few months ago and I have to say it was my year's "best find".

Thank-you so much...it is without a doubt my favourite site!

I can't even remember how I came to this site but want you to know it is the best ever! I am a self taught decorator also & although I haven't posted alot I visit here daily! I get many ideas from all the great people here who are willing to share theirs! Wow I can't believe you can count your cakes on 1 hand! You are an amazing programmer because this site is awsomely laid out. From the tabs & the links, everything is in order & you can find anything you are looking for! I would nominate this site the best cake info site ever (not just 2006) but ever!! Keep up the great job & thanks again for creating such a nice & informative website!

I am new to Cake Central but I also have fell in love with the information and the creative ideas here. I am currently in Class 2 of the Wilton Cake Decorating Classes locally and am really enjoying it. Cake decorating is going to become a full time hobby for me very quickly.
I just have one question. What is a "bump"? I see this placed in some messages but am unfamiliar with what it means. Can you please explain this to me?

Thanks,
Julie
